Laura...

  That is the same problem I was having. I knew how to do it but it wouldn't upload. Helen said that it is b/c the temporary sever isn't automatically resizing them like the old system did. I tried resizing my pic and it still wouldn't work.   :-\ :-\

I've sorted it for you :)

There is a problem with the software at present.  It will not re-size any oversize photos.  So any pictures that are required for avatars have to be re-sized manually. 

For a Portrait photo that means the dimensions have to be Max. Height-165 Pixels Max. Width-120 Pixels, and for a Landscape photo Max. Height 90Pixels Max. Width 120Pixels, and a Square photo will be Max.Height&Width of 120Pixels.

Remember when using your re-sizing software to ensure that your dimensions are in pixels and not in cm's or inches :)
