I think it has something to do with the size/resolution of the image you're trying to use. I think I ultimately went the URL method and linked it to a URL and then cropped it. You could upload your image to your favorite image upload site and then link to that from your profile and crop the image from there.

Yeah if you want to change your avatar, you'll have to do so with the "Import from URL" option. So just upload the image to Photobucket or imgur.com and then use the URL to get it to show up.

The direct upload option has been disabled for security reasons.

Upload the photo you want to imgur.com or photobucket

Copy the link to the image you uploaded (it'll be a webpage that ends in ".jpg" or ".png")

On the Photo Editor window when editing your profile and attempting to change your picture:

Instead of the 'Upload from file', go to the 'Import from URL' and paste in the link you just copied.

Then click 'Import'

I have been trying to change my photo for days and just finally decided to look and see if there was a thread about this issue. Guess I should have looked sooner. Could have saved myself some frustration.
