Unable to upload new avatar

I noticed that my avatar seemed to revert to a pre-new server state. I just went into update it, and I'm getting this error: 
 
Failed to set a new photo
 
 
I tried removing the current avatar, changing the file name, uploading a different image, and clearing my browser cache, but the error persists.
 
I don't see any other reports of this and I assume people change avatars all the time, so at first blush these appears to be user error. Any recommendations?

Same issue here.  Linking to external isn't working either.  I blame GHoff.

Don't blame your complete lack of technological skill on me.  I'll fix it for $200.

I ended up using Gravatar. I'm not a big fan of the service, but it seems like the only thing that'll work right now.
