Hi Raghu,
We have a couple issues with image uploads at the moment that we're still
cleaning up.
Read a bit more about the current state of image uploads in this thread:

Hi!
I have a small application (under testing) which used to update display
pictures
of users via API. It has stopped working for over three weeks. In
fact, if I change
the picture via API, I don't get any error, but the picture of that user
is
gone. Even updating profile picture of the same user via Web is acting
strangely.
For example my (@raghuprasad) picture is not visible first when I go to
the
settings screen (http://twitter.com/settings/profile). Then if I click
on the link
Delete this image, then it shows up immediately. Then it is visible
on settings
screen as well as on my link http://twitter.com/raghuprasad. It seems,
something
is not correct at Twitter end as far as display picture is concerned.
Or is it something
done by me which is causing problem.
BTW, I am using OAuth to access the Twitter APIs for changing DPs.
New update on this:
I have noticed that Twitter is remembering my old display pictures.
Also whenever I am using my application to update a new DP
via API, I loose my picture. Then if I go back to the web interface and
click on the image deletion link on the profile page, one of my older
DP turns up like a resurrection! What is the queue size of old DPs
kept by Twitter?
Is updating a new picture not equivalent to deleting the old and
putting a new one? Earlier, older avatar links used to return an
error when a new one was uploaded via API.
cheers,
Raghu
