Help! My avatar is stuck with the pic of my goofy twin brother! I can't seem to change it! My new pic uploaded but isn't showing.

Remember when your mom warned you that if you make a face it will freeze like that? It's the same concept.

I just changed both my avatar and profile pics, no problem, auto resizing worked fine. Buy a new computer and try again.

BTW, you used the two terms interchangeably - they are different, you know?

Crap! Sorry... I was trying to change my avatar by uploading the new one... to the PROFILE pic. I'm an idiot.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An avatar (abbreviations include AV, ava, avie, avy, avi, avvie, avis, avies, avii, and avvy) is an Internet user's representation of himself or herself, whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games,[1] a two-dimensional icon (picture) used on Internet forums and other communities,[2][3] or a text construct found on early systems such as MUDs. The term "avatar" can also refer to the personality connected with the screen name, or handle, of an Internet user.[4]

Origin
In English, the word has come to mean "an embodiment, a bodily manifestation of the Divine." However, the Sanskrit word Avatara means "the descent of God" or simply "incarnation." The term is used primarily in Hindu texts. For example, Krishna is the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu the Preserver, whom many Hindus worship as God. The Dasavatara are ten particular "great" incarnations of Vishnu.
