The profile pic I uploaded was a PNG, but I can't imagine the type matters as long as it's within the pixel/size constraints. I think you may also be able to put it on another site and choose to link to it instead of uploading.

Old monthlies can be viewed in Demonskid's Thread and dragoness129's Thread. Demonskid's has old event items as well.

As for the max number of posts you can reserve for a quest...I don't know as the rules don't mention anything on that. Don't do one post like I did though >.>; I just didn't know any better at the time.

Edit: Listen to Coda about the profile picture. I have mine uploaded, somehow, but I don't see it anywhere but the "choose a profile pic" page.
