Is your avatar greater than 10KBs in size? If so, it will not upload.

Make sure the size is no more than 10 KB (best if it is a .jpg) and try again.

It's below 10KB...

I get the same thing... mine is a JPEG image that is 8KB, and I edited it to fit requirements using Preview on my Mac. Somehow, it still disagrees and says it's not right though. So I had to stick with a stupid, boring blue thing from the default gallery.
