error during the uploading avatar

Odd - I just replaced my avatar on this site using Chrome with the 'fakepath' in the url and it uploaded with no problem. As, indeed, it should. The 'fakepath' is simply a mechanism to prevent the actual path being sent to the browser in plain text and thus potentially made available. So - any message? do we know if there are other reasons for an upload to fail?

when I started this topic I thought that the problem was with "fakepath", now I realized that the problem was with the size of the image as @Mr Papa asked me. Now it works fine ! Thanks you a lot
