I made a new character a few days (maybe a week) ago and just recently drew up a picture for the character's avatar spot on her page. All my other characters on here already have avatar pictures up but it has been a while since I put them up so I wasn't sure how to add a picture for my new character at first. I clicked the picture box (the default gray box with the ? in it) and it only pops up a message saying what formats the picture must be in and that it will be resized to 95x95. I try to click the pencil icon on the box to edit it but it does the same thing. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I've looked through all the widgets and settings and I can't find a way to add an avatar picture for my character Spats.

Yup, clicking the ? icon on the character's edit page is the correct place to go. There should be two buttons that appear in that box, beneath the notifications about sizes and things. One should say "Choose icon" and the other "Upload icon"

If neither of those appears, what browser and operating system are you running? Does your browser run with any plug-ins?

The box pops up like I said and show at the bottom of my screen and if I scroll down it moves with the screen and stays at the bottom. I tried to move it just now and it closed. I'm running Window XP with firefox and lots of addons and no really odd pull-ins. Not sure what could be messing this up though. :S

I use disabled several plug-ins (computer used to be my sisters so there are a few remains of her stuff on here).

Ok I disabled all my plug-ins and it still was messed up. Then I disabled all my addons and it worked. :(

I'll have to go through my addons and see which one does that. DX

Edit: Found it! It took a while but turns out my 'no squint' addon for firefox was messing things up. I disabled it and now the page works fine.

Interesting. Addons are really hard to test for because there's an infinite number of possible combinations. What is the no squint one?

This is the no squint one.

Ah I had it listed wrong in the 'don't mess with this site' thing. DX So that annoyance was all my own fault.
