Just in case this is a uknown issue, when attempting changing avatar to a .png image (upload or url), it accepts and resizes the image to 100x100 fine, however when hit "Save Changes" button it shows
error and avatar gets deleted (even if you had previously accepted .jpg or .gif avatar, it will be gone).
So now that I have a .png avatar if I go to update my profile, I’ll have to reupload the image again after the changes were made.
