i cannot understand what has happened just now??? every time I try to change avatars, no matter which one I select from jpegs I have used in the past, the new avatar fails to upload, I keep getting back the messages: "photo failed to upload" at the top and "Sorry, this file type is unsupported" at the bottom, even though I'm using all the same avatars that I was using before???
this happens with both smaller personal avatars and the larger profile banner avatars?
does anyone happen to know what is causing this???

thanks

Follow the restrictions on file size and format.

Directions only help when followed.

Yup, what Suzie Q said.

If the picture is too big it will not work.
