uploading an avatar gives me a generic error

I'm not kidding, what

it's doing it for 74x74 avatars as well, did it break even more?

[Super Suit 12]

try loading it and saving it with a different program? can't remember if this is the fix for generic error as well or if that's only for it just not updating without any errors

[Verification]

ctrl f5 and if that doesnt work wait a little while
then try doing different minor effects on it and compressing it using gimp or something while keeping it png. if all that doesnt work make it a gif.

it changed

that's the thing, usually doing that seemed to work but now it's not even giving me a size error, just that really vague error
I got it working with different scaling in gimp but something's changed

[Maxwell.]

I fixed it, it was really weird because I used the scaling tool in gimp to resize it and made a new version and that didn't work, but the other scaling tool under images > scale image worked just fine

I retried it though except I scaled using the scale tool and then did "fit canvas to layers"

I also used these settings and turned them all off so there's no metadata that sets the forums security off. this was a weird glitch and it's nothing like I've ever dealt with before, resizing/waiting/compression/ctrl f5 didn't work this time so I'm pretty sure the image was screwed somehow
