akhet, if the pic is stored on geocities, tripod, or any of the other sites (angelfire?) that don't allow their images to display on sites that aren't theirs, then that's probably the reason it didn't show up in your profile. Unfortunately, the same goes for images you might try to place in a message here or on any board that also isn't theirs.
But though dsboards can't EMAIL aol addresses, images stored on their pages do show up here. Go figure.
Stuart, that's SO nice of you!
