Trying to change my avatar picture

I'm trying to put my new book cover in as my avatar, and I keep getting "Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file."

As with most error messages, I don't know whether this means *I* am screwing up, or if I should just try again later. Help?

You know that's how religions get started, right? Sneeze right before your enemy gets hit by lightning, next thing you know there's a run on snuffboxes.

Of course I went and tried hitting refresh, because, hey, why not.

Tragically, there will be no refresh button religion.

Orange juice at the computer is bad!

Okay, trying to upload to profile pic worked, but when I deleted it (thinking it had borked my avatar upload), I learned that I cannot put it back up without the error.

Still getting the error with avatar.

The site is letting me insert the image into my sig, but I need to shrink it to... well, your size, SP, if I'm going to go that route.

Giving up for now. Maybe the computer needs a nap.

Mac, you are pure fab with a side of awesome sauce
