Please provide steps to reproduce the error.
- be a user on Gender Wiki (gender.wikioasis.org) or more generally possibly be a user on a wiki with SocialProfile (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SocialProfile) installed but I can only confirm for Gender Wiki
- goto your user page ("gender.wikioasis.org/wiki/user:<user name>")
- click "upload avatar"
- choose a file and attempt to upload it
What happened that shouldn't have?
