Help with a picture that I want to be my avatar?

I have my 360 account, have the picture set to primary, and the picture is only 28KB and is in the JPEG format, yet when I try to use it as my Yahoo! avatar only a red X is displayed, even in the "choose a picture" area under Edit My Info. 10 points for a working solution or an idea that would lead me to one!

Thanks!

    It could be the system, which is rather glitchy

    This is happening to many users on the site and it seems to be a Yahoo problem, not a user-fixable problem. You can try reporting it as a BUG on the Suggestion Forum (link is on the LEFT, 2/3 down page by the BLOG link), or email the staff directly at y_answrs_team@yahoo.com (missing 'e' is deliberate).

    I know that too many users complained about the same problem over the last 2 or 3 weeks, BUT, I would recommend to TRY AGAIN NOW. I 'received' some good news that this problem has just been FIXED.

    Good Luck
