3: KEEP TRYING. GIVE IT A FEW MINUTES BETWEEN TRIES. TRY PRESSING CTRL+F5 (CLEARS CACHE) IF YOU DIDN'T GET AN ERROR TO MAKE PERFECTLY SURE IT DIDN'T WORK.
4: ???forget THAT, YOU PROFIT.

BONUS STEPS: IGNORE THE IDIOTS WHO TELL YOU TO MAKE IT 74X74, 70X70, OR ANY OTHER GODDAMNED SMALLER SIZE. IT'S A BUNCH OF VOODOO BULLstuff. JUST KEEP TRYING. IF YOU RESIZE IT SMALLER, IT WILL PROBABLY WORK, BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT TOOK YOU FIVE MINUTES TO RESIZE THE GODDAMNED THING, NOT BECAUSE IT WAS SMALLER.

wrong resizing your avatar will cause most browser caches to redownload it since it's a smaller size than the current one, which will update it for everyone aswell and not just you refreshing your cache, the problem lies on the browsers side since in effort to reduce load time saves the image in the cache and just pulls it out when needed

if that was true why does ctrl+f5 not work?? if it was a cache issue, then the client who ran ctrl+f5 would see their avatar, think nothing was wrong, and never post a help topic. everyone else would just think they had the same avatar until their caches automatically updated.

that's not what happens. instead, the user is presented with A: an error
B: no error that cannot be resolved or some stuff
i've been called away from this post like 5 times so i don't remember where i was going with it... i might already be there.
