it DOES work BUT be careful of the pixel size / avatar max size allowed. The allowance is quite small and there is a limit.
That is what fooled me at first.
You may have to reduce the pixel size using Picasa or your own Photoshoppy type of software.
I DLd for FREE "Paint.net" and it has a RESIZE function.

Everyone should download a copy of Paint.net. It's a powerful imaging program and it's free. Invaluable for image editing, adjustment and re-sizing.
