Yes, I can see my avatar pic. It's a cat hanging on to a rope. Are you sure you clicked on the place to pick the avatar? It's been so long since I picked mine (actually this one is my third one) that I don't remember how it works.

I'll check in here later today. It's 12:15 a.m. and I'm just going to be here long enough to say "Happy Birthday" to the people with birthdays and then I'm heading to bed. TTYL.
