The avatar thing has been broken for a while now. Keep trying or give up. Sorry.

Mine seems to work just fine. Try making the image exactly 75x75 , and as a png instead of a jpg.

At one point in time people speculated that certain image editors might be being blocked by the forums. You may wish to try saving/exporting the file with different editors and see what happens.

I don't think images contain the editor information within them.

a lot of information can be kept in an image besides the image itself. like what camera took a picture, where it took it, what time it was, etc.

Also cloudflare(?) keeps caches on the website, so it doesn't change avatars, even if you see it as changed. I know Muslim changed his avatar once and no one else could see it apart from him, then like 2-3 days later, when cloudflare reset it's cache on forum.blockland.us it showed up.

Which is what I want to be happening right now. But it hasn't happened yet. I changed it a month ago.

No edit but so did bamboo's. Now it is the stick dude throwing a TV instead of him painting.
