The only reason I can think of would be that you don't it uploaded (correctly).
Maybe go check it again. I didn't get any messages about my avatar at
first and it wasn't showing up.
I am pretty sure I uploaded it correctly. It is showing up in my edit signature page. I have even tried uploading it via photobucket and directly from my computer, but neither way has worked. I will PM a mod in a few days to see what the deal is. I won't bother them while they are trying to get the board up and running.
