Having a brain fart. Want to replace my avatar with one other than a DU stock avatar.

Clicked on the "upload your own" button in my profile screen.

It then says choose file and when I click on it my explorer file opens. I click on the image I want and I get an error message that it's not the right file, has to be gif or jpg.

I've done this before, but having a complete brain shut down.

Thanks.
