Hey so I recently made myself a new profile picture and submitted it and the option to set it as my avatar isn't there.
I did set it so it can be used as an avatar so... 
Old stuff I submitted that I allowed to be set as an avatar still have the option to set it...so I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I missed something? I also made a matching one for my boyfriend to use and he can't set it either. He also can't set his old avatar that I made for him a while ago that he used to use. Not sure if that's associated with the same issue or what. |

Only images that are 64x64px or smaller can be used as avatars, I believe. Also, you don't need to tick that box to use your own art as an avatar. That's only to let other people use it. So, do it for your boyfriend's avatar, but not for yours (unless you want other people to use it). |

Edit: I got it working for me, and the similar avatar I made for my boyfriend has the option to set it as an avatar for both of us, but when he goes to set it he gets an error message "500 internal server error" :( |
