I'm trying to make the image for my player in my game look nicer, but it's not working because whenever I try to 'modify' the arguments that should be like this for Avatar.ashx:

http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=100&y=100&Format=Png&username=/USERNAMEHERE/

(talking about the X and Y) it gives me an error:

19:19:14.262 - Content failed for http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=50&y=100&Format=Png&username=digpoe because Internal Server Error
19:19:14.265 - TextureContentProvider failed to process http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=50&y=100&Format=Png&username=digpoe because 'could not fetch'

Any ideas why it won't work? And is there any other way (other than doing some ClipsDescendants 'hack') to achieve the same effect?

It doesn't work as there are no url's that exist with other args than 100 and 100.
(Just tried it in my browser).

As for some other way.. not sure. Gui offset?

But then I have the ugly border - I'd have to use ClipsDescendants.

'no url's that exist with other args than 100 and 100'

An argument is not part of an URL.

An URL is something like:

http://www.roblox.com/

If it had arguments, such as:

?postId=1&content=hello

those part's aren't exactly part of the URL, it's just what the browser passes to the page.

Think of it as arguments to a Lua script:

local tArgs = {...}
showPage(tArgs["postId"]).writeContent(tArgs["content"])

No, they do not. They will just ignore, like they always do.
