I don't think there's any "newbie" restrictions. I've found that the key to having a custom avatar on most boards is making sure that is small - in the case of COTEP.org, it should be 80x80 pixels, or less than 19KB - whichever is smaller.
You might need to tweak your picture with an editor - there are several free ones that are pretty good.
