When I try to update my profile with the URL for my avatar, my picture showes up. I update my profile and then my picture goes away, why? This is the url that I am trying to use, is it correct?

<img src="http://www.momentoffame.com/snapshots/MomentOfFame/s27933" alt=" - " />

Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong.

Thank you

Ell

Dave,
Yes, this was a picture of me driving in the Detroit vs Ohio autocross challenge.

Big Dave,
Every time I try and enlarge my pic the smallest amount, I get an oversized pic like Drew. If you still have a copy of the pic can you make it a little bigger?

Did you go and work with John today? I tried to get in touch with him several times with no luck.

Ell:

Right click and save this picture. It's the right size, but because of the high resolution, it's still a big file at 78K.

And no, I didn't get in touch with Doz today. Maybe tomorrow.

EDIT: Oops.. It's only 4K. Perfect size for an avatar! <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />
