Rick, I've never assigned a photo to my portfolio area here at NPN, so I'm not clear on where you found the image size requirements. Maybe you can share that info here. That would include the pixel dimensions too.
I think the standard Avatar size is up to 48x48 pixels 10Kb max, .gif or .jpg Format.

Regardless, if you're working with the required sizes and photo format when saving the image as the last step are you using File>Save For Web & Devices>Optimization = 34k.......if so it should work.

If you've formatted everything correctly you might need to just take the Optimization down a notch to say 30-33k for it to upload. :cool:

Rick, if you are using Photoshop you will need to use the File > Save for Web to option to keep file sizes down where they need to be.
