I got the following error trying to upload my avatar. I tried this method after it failed when I tried to add via url.

To fix this give WWW (group or owner) write permission in the directories named above.

Just one thing: I find flicker on the screen very irritating. Can you please use a still GIF for an avatar and signature?

Thanks,

Flicker? The image must not have properly loaded on your end. There should be no flicker.

You images are animated GIFs which change/flicker/move all the time. It's irritating, because human eyes are inadvertedly drawn to any movement. For our ancestors, this was a survival skill but today, it makes it hard to concentrate on the content of the dojoboard.

So please use stills.
