Hi Teamster,
Do a right mouse click over my avatar, then 'save-as' to your computer where ever you want to put it. Then go to your profile page load that image as your avatar. IMPORTANT: don't forget to scroll down to the bottom and hit the 'apply' button.
I had to go into the original image, crop some of the border and then reduce the file size. It's about as good as I could get without going over the file size limit. Good Luck.
