So, I see that many other players in this game have unique avatars and I figured I would do the same...but the several I have tried all give me an error that says "Problem with chosen avatar".
What are the rules on avatars? Do they have to be re-sized before hand? Can I not use an image hosting site? The wiki doesn't really provide much detailed information on it.

I can offer up is it has to be a static offsite URL for the image file, and there *may* be a file-size limit in place. Not sure if any odd characters in the URL could blow it up or not. Tim or Ed will have to chime in if there's anything else in the background...

Sorry for the trouble!
What type of image is it you're trying to upload? I think I remember there being an issue with certain image types not working last version. I may have fixed it in V8 after launch, but forgot to duplicate the change to the V9 code baseline. I'll take a look into this over my lunch break today (~3 hours from now) and see if I can get it sorted out. I'll also try to add more info to the wiki later.

Yep. I guessed right. There was a bug where .png files weren't being excepted. Had fixed it in V8, but the bug had already been carried over to V9. Fixed now.
.jpg, .gif, and .png files are supported. Don't think there should be a size limit, though bigger images will get shrunk down. Can't remember to what size off the top of my head. Will try to update the wiki in the next day or so.
