Cant upload a custom avatar

Finally decided to update my custom avatar photo, and cant seem to do it.

The upload capability is no longer on the profile page.

Is this capability gone and I am just behind the times??

Help!

Are you trying to upload a different one and it's not working?

I uploaded this one but kept seeing my old one for the next few minutes. It must have changed over some time after that...

That might work, unless the delay is from DU not updating the image immediately to their multiple servers. In that case, if the upload process seemed to work, the image probably uploaded fine and you just need to wait a little while for it to show up in threads - there's nothing you can do about that.
