Can't upload a profile picture

Two different things. The picture on your posts is the avatar. You can't use a custom avatar if you're not a subscriber.

When did that change? IIRC I swapped my old avatar to the Toga Llama not too long ago.

My wife isn't a Community Supporter, but she's able to have a custom Avatar.

I don't think a Community Supporter account is a prerequisite to be able to have one. It just has to meet the file requirements.

It says in the subscribe information that subscribing lets you to have a custom avatar.

Yeah. I think it's always said that. When I first created an account it was that way, and was one reason why I eventually got a subsciption (before the Community Supporter Accounts started). But when I helped my wife set up her account in Dec. 2010 (Princess_P), it allowed her to load a custom avatar...even though it still said that you had to have a community supporter account to do so...

Maybe she caught it when that wasn't in effect, but I think that part about the CS account requirement is just a hold over from the subscription days.
