You are a glutton for punishment Paul. Here is the procedure I've been doing.
in edit profile, choose file, select JPG you sent me,it comes up to show it's been chosen, hit edit profile.
New screen comes up with error message,"wrong file type "image/jpg" the file must be in .JPG format.

The other way, when I used the image hosting sites after hitting edit profile I get a new screen flash up fast then disappear saying my edit was successful. But still no avatar.
So that is what I am doing, is that basically what you have done.
cheers, Rob
