No, .gif should work.
Try it again...

Yes, should it be .jpg or .jpeg instead?

The Avatars are for you... As long as it fits the physical requirements (height and width and size), it doesn't matter to me if you use it for commercial purposes or personal purposes. By participating, we want to give you something back and exposure to your sites (whether they are hobby, personal, business, etc.) is just what we want to allow... The signature does that, now the avatars do that, and very soon, banners at the top will do that.

(My personal life is my commercial life so if I get around to creating an avatar, it'll probably be sponsoring my business...).

Hey Chad,

Is this avatar acceptable (too commercial? are there rules on this yet?)? If not I'll use something else.

I tried uploading mine, which is 45x20 and 6k in size, but I'm getting "The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is an try again." even though it's a .gif file.

WTF?

I just uploaded my beloved Golden Retriever, Marcy, there. That's a puppy picture.

Suggestions: Why not utilize the announcement feature and give instructions for everyone so they know how to use avatars and other new features?
