I’ve tried to upload my own avatarimage for the forums. Tried PNG and JPG, both in diff sizes (from 22pxl up to 220pxl). Sadly, it doesn’t work. The errormessage is:

```auto
Sorry, there was an error uploading sven.png. Please try again.

```

Any idea, what im doing wrong?

Amusingly, I still had the page open and the second message loaded in with the avatar.
