I give you rodking3, a sad soul growing sadder by the minute. As this problem begins, we enter his man cave, where he pulls his hair in frustration....

I can't get my Edit Avatar to open. When I click it to open, I just get the black screen inside the box.

I haven't seen an Edit Avatar. Where is it? If you go to Profile tab, click Edit Profile, you see the options to delete and add avatar images. But no edit.

Edit Profile & Settings/Avatar Tab
Displays my Avatar.
Over to the right under the "Default Avatar" is a little link to "Edit Avatar".
When I click that, the Avatar Maker box appears, but is black. I know I screwed something up while playing with that.

Ok, I see it now. If it had a better name it would be Edit an Avatar Drawing instead of what you might be thinking, Edit an Uploaded Image. Let's start with this question. Are you trying to edit a drawing made here or an uploaded image?

I was trying to edit the avatar by opening and creating one. For some reason, I had caused the screen that sits over the avatar to go blank. I have not been able to get an image there or get the "Edit Avatar" box to open since then.

What kind of a device are you logging in with? In order to use Avatar Maker, you need to have Adobe Flash installed according to this support article. I get the same results as you did with my iPhone. I have no idea if there is an app available. But then I avoided the whole problem by uploading an avatar I drew using MS Paint on a PC. Why don't you do that? Now I am going to "un-hijack" this topic by giving it over to your problem.

Edit Avitar button is used on the drawing type avitar, not a photo. But it requires Adobe Flash to be installed, so if it isn't forget that. It is much easier to either upload some photo or do as I did, create a pix on MS Paint (free with every Windows) and upload that. Then you're done.

I use a couple of the Chromium clones on my PC where Flash is not supported, so I get the error overlay message. I read there is a pluggin for the Firefox family using Quantum, but it doesn't work too well. I know very little about Edge so whether the avatar editor app works on that platform is for someone else to answer. There are all kinds of apps out on the 'net to compose/edit/manipulate avatars, why not use one of them?

Paint is good. They have a huge library of stock shapes to use built into the app. I grabbed 2 at random off Paint without any changes. YOu can change these in an infinite number of ways with Paint.

It only took me almost a month of fiddling and looking, but I figured out how to shrink the size of pictures. Now we're cooking with some high octane stuff!
