    Shutterfly should give you the IMG code for the photo that was uploaded. Paste the IMG code into the box.

    I use photobucket, and I have been trying to paste the image code into the custom avatar section, but it is just saying invalid file.

    You'll need some kind of photo program to resize it.

    You will need to compress the file. Try resizing the photo. You should be able to change the "quality" of the photo; ake it pretty low. You won't notice a low quality photo as being low quality when it is in a small space, like our avatars.
