Maybe if you had renamed a bmp as a jpg, that might cause a problem. Just a guess.

Try changing the extension to ".jpg" instead of ".jpeg".

File needs to be 80x80 or less than 18k. I always resize my avatars to 80x80 or smaller and save them as .jpg


Edit:

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

Gym Heros are allowed larger avatars. Might be where you got 100x100 from.

Thanks dr I will try that now .I find that when I shrink the picture down it loses some quality is tgeir a way to do it without affecting the quality or is it unavoidable because of the pixel count

I will use this one for now until I manage to get the one I want in good quality

You're welcome. Glad it is working for you now. I always crop the image to a square before resizing, and then keep the proportions even. It's a bit of work, but resizing an even square is the best way to go.
