Right, I've managed to do that, thanks, but now I can't upload it and get this message back:

Try this-
Open the picture you want to use with ms paint, click image then stretch/skew and adjust the picture to the allowable size avatar (100x100). Save it to another file, then move your cursor over it to see the new size.
You may have to resize a couple of times to get your picture down to the right size.

I've tried that too, and I'm still get the error message.

If a moderator would be so kind as to PM their email address, I can then email them my poxy little image and they can then give me a face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK This is what I did a number of years ago based on Lello's suggestion:-
Load your picture into MS paint

Stretch and Slew say by placing 60 into each field
Save it as another name
Have a look at the file size it must be under 10KB (JPEG)

If too big load the original again and try 50 then 40.

DO NOT stretch and slew a file that you have already done so as the quality will fall off dramatically.

If you have Picasa Photo Editor (free download) open the picture, go in Picasa to File: export photo to file, then resize the pixels and if necessary reduce the quality (like from maximum to normal).

That will do.

Cheers
