Is your image a JPEG type? If it is, try converting it into a GIF type. That's what I had to do to my avatar in order to fit the size requirements. The image may look crappy, but that's the best I can do.

if your avatar is the right pixel dimensions then you could also get remote hosting for it. But jpegs are really sucky for avatars, exspecialy if you wnat to write soemthing on them, it always appears all blurry.
