You have to use the url option. The forums won't accept any pictures from your files, no matter the size.
Yes use websites like suggested above and change their size and try again. ;)

I uploaded my profile picture from my computer. I didn't use a website. owo
Considering you have a profile icon now, I'm guessing things are alright-- though I do want to leave something here for you to keep in mind.
When modifying your Forum Profile, I suggest using the "Specify avatar by URL" option always. You will always get the best results with this option as it does not pixelate your image. Also a good thing to keep in mind is to use a .jpg format. For example:
1. Upload your avatar image to imgur.com
2. right click your image and select "Copy image location"
(you should get a URL link like this)
http://i.imgur.com/IMAGE KEY HERE.jpg/.png/gif (any format)
5. Paste that URL into the "Specify avatar by URL" box on your Forum Profile.
6. Save your Froum Profile and you will have a pretty, none pixelated, profile picture.
