    Okay, so, I was trying to change my avatar and all of the sudden my internet just closed on me. I have tried to change it again but it just keeps closing every time. I thought maybe it was Firefox so I tried with Internet Explorer, but it still booted me off. Any idea why?

    I have a theory. Your computer loves your avatar so much it wont let you change it! it's possible right?:blink:

    You might have a virus or something, I'm not sure.

    Just do what I say:

    1. Unplug your computer and plug it back in.
    2. Try Firefox and IE again.
    If that doesn't work, I would advise you to get Ad-Aware SE. Kinda old, but extremely reliable.

    It's an error on forum. I can't exchange it either, especially on using URL instead of direct upload. I just get blank screen and that's it. Of course you can try to:

    1. Empty your cookies
    2. Reset your temporary internet files

    I haven't tried either of those yet so I don't know does it work. Sometimes old cookies can cause that you can't log in and such.

    maybe the file is to big for you... certain sizes go to certain people... mods get the biggest

    I'll just add to this that it is the same size as my current one is so no, it is not too big. It's the exact same size with it (reason in originally was to prevent my avatar from being directly linked from my site by ******s and by that I mean that I'd exchange my avatars URL every now and then and add "DELETED" to the old one).

    It's 100 x 100 and 12 Kb so no, it's not too big. And for those that keep claiming it is a virus, I don't think so. I scanned my Windows and tested it also on OS X Firefox, no deal. ;)

    I actually had a virus the day before this all started happening, I have been able to get a new avatar, but today while I was working in Movie Maker, I tried to import something, and it booted me off of there. I think that maybe it could just be the folder I was trying to use.

    Quiet possible. My friend's computer does that, but right when she logs on. I can't help you there. Sometimes though, the pictures aren't saved correctly or somethings wrong with the file. Such as a few days ago, I had a clip with Roxas in it. I was NOT able to download it. Don't know why. But sometimes, you just have to delete the picture then get it again. Sorry, I'm really not all that helpful.

    Everything seem to be working fine now, I really think that it was the folder I was trying to upload the images from.
