Looks like the other method I tried out and showed you earlier (uploading images directly to the photo album) will work, although truthfully yours should have worked in the first place. Since the code is the same, I can only assume there might have been something wrong with the photobucket link. Perhaps this forum is picky and doesn't like the %'s in the code, but your guess is as good as mine on that. In any case, your profile's looking good. Let me know if it happens again (with a different picture).
