Do I have to somehow reduce a saved image to 6kb for it to be accepted as an avatar? If so, how do I do that, please? Perhaps I'm missing something. Thanks for the help and the amazingly quick fixes here, but it's not an urgent issue---"first things first!"

Resizing to a maximum of 90x90 pixels is required. I have altered the file size limitations to 250kb, so it should be much easier to get an avatar accepted by the system.

If you need help resizing an image, let me know.

I use this service for resizing: http://picasion.com/resize-image/

It can take a couple tries to get it below 90x90 but it keeps the image quality pretty well.
