I was having trouble with my photobucket avatar too, even when it was set to public.  Before the site switch, I had it on private, but it still displayed fine.  A few days ago, though, the site seemed to reject the URL I gave it, even though it brought me to the image just fine when I copy-pasted it into the URL bar.

I think I have it fixed.  Neither flickr nor facebook would work, so I uploaded it to photobucket, then realized I had to resize it.  I hope it's an acceptable size now.  It's from John Kovalic, the artist/cartoonist who does Dorktower, Apples to Apples, and the Munchkin card game.  I asked his permission to use it as an icon/avatar and he gave it to me, for which I will always be grateful, because it really is perfect for me.  The only way it could be more perfect would be if the spinster cat lady had red hair and a wall of bookcases behind her.

Yes, it is wonderful and of a good size.  ;)

I just realized what your sig was and squeaked.

Most people got it, but since not everyone was, I updated it to make it a little easier.  Now the fun is in figuring out each one...  Not too hard...

Uuu, cool sig. I like the Thomas choice, Green Arrow from Smalville :)

Due to silent but deadly protest, I changed the Thomas in the new sig.  I always pictured Thomas as a blonde for some reason like Justin Hartley from Smallville, but people kept telling me I did it wrong.  So in the new sig, it's Matt Bomer from Chuck/White Collar, who the ladies have generally said is just as acceptable.

Bomer is the person I always imagined as Thomas but really Thomas has gray eyes, and is whiter and skinnier. He has black hair, really. But I can imagine Hartley with black hair, no problem there.
