Did you copy the entire URL of the picture you have on Photobucket into the space provided? 

You could also upload a picture from your computer.  I don't remember if it will automatically shrink the image to fit or if you have to do that yourself, though.

I think there is a file size limit on that (less than 256kb)

Sorry Dave, i didn't realise it was a size issue.  {that sounds suss  } 
Ok mate, go into photobucket and click on the picture you are trying to resize, now you should be on a screen with just your picture  with the links to the left. Put your mouse on the picture and at the top of your picture there will be a pile of options at the top of the pic, just click on resize and pick what size you want to shrink the pic.....give that a go..
