What's the URL of the picture?
Also, the max dimensions of the pic have to be 100x100 pixels. Scale it down some if yours is too big.

Below the avatar URL it shows boxes for dimensions. You have to do a bit of math to figure out what the dimensions should be, but it's not hard.

That would probably work, but if it's not a square then it will distort the pic somewhat.

Well, the url you gave for the pic is not working for me, so I can't really help.
Avatars have to be in a certain size limit, which, in this case, is 100x100 pixels. To scale it down you can either upload it to an imaging account (try photobucket.com, maybe) or copying the image on to an image program (like MS Paint or Photoshop) and scaling it down there, then uploading it onto your online image account. Then you just have to copy the url into the designated spot when modifying your profile, give the right dimensions, and it should work.
