Was it a PNG? because discourse automatically convert png to JPG and the converted file might be below 50k

Do already uploaded things count against this limit?

True! It was a png. I tried with jpeg and it did work. Thanks!

Also I made several attempts, so you might have done it when the limit was higher

mhhh… yet uploading screenshots work… please use imgur 
Look, I’m really sorry, but I’ve already spent too much time on it this morning…
You have an already pretty cool avatar with a nice frozen beard. Please consider to keep it

It didn’t do that for me (at least, it doesn’t seem like it), I had to manually convert my avatar to jpg to make it small enough.
The original .png file was 99.3 kB. After uploading this failed I turned it into jpg with gimp on default settings which made it 30.8 kB.

If you’re unable/unwilling to fix this, no problem, I can live my current avatar. Just trying to help.

Well thanks. As long as most people are fine about it, I’m ok too.
The thing is… I hate web dev / setting /configuration… I did too much in my life… and I don’t want to do it in my spare time.

Yea it was a PNG. But in the end it doesn’t matter because the result is changed avatar

You know what would be best? If we could just provide an avatar image link, such as to imgur and the like.
That can’t be right. Mine has transparency.

Uploaded my 7kb jpg avatar without any problems.

I guess only jpgs are supported now. I’ve tried a 15kb png and ico and both gave an error, except that the png gave a size error and the ico a “there was a problem” generic message.

The .png vs. .jpg thing may be related to this discussion on the Forum software support board.
Any commonalities in the way that y’all are generating your avatar files?
