LOL... I'm just ... well.. challenged sometimes.
Jeeves, it wasn't even a minor glitch, I hate ta' tell ya' this but it was USER ERROR. lol
What happened is, (I realized on like the fourth try.... sheesh...) it 'takes' the first time... but you don't especially get any notice... it doesn't say... GOOD JOB JUDIB YOU DID IT... or anything... it sends you back to what looks like a blank screen, with a tiny avatar showing, so you think you have to click on "submit" again...
Only when you click on "submit" again... (taking a breath)... actually the new url spot or browse spot is EMPTY... so it's reading it as a failure.
And I'm wide awake now, and that is
still the best I can 'splain it. lol

I can't seem to load an avatar. The size fits but I get a message about it not being a good file or something like that. It's bmp, not that I understand that, but is there a restriction on this type?

No restriction we are aware of. jpg or gif would be preferable. bmps are an uncompressed format, and tend to have very large filesizes for given dimensions, relative to jpg or gif. If you want try to to attach your bmp to a post, we will be happy to convert it for you.
On edit: We looked at your old avatar on TOB. It's an animated gif. Not permitted here.
If that is what you're trying to use, that might be the problem.

Thanks. That was awfully nice of you. I actually wanted my gumbo avatar before the last incarnation of TOB. I don't have it any longer. I think I lost it in the great computer crash of '07. Should have gotten it back before the board when haywire.
I found one for now, but if you come across a nice bowl of dark roux gumbo with no okry or tomatoes, I would be ever so grateful! (If that's not asking to much, of course.)

If it can be had, we're going to make it a priority to get it back for you. We have some methods.

We remember your old avatar. Net archives were unfruitful. This is close:

I'll take it and thanks! How did you do that? Who were y'all on TOB?
