I uploaded one for you... :)
I used a photobucket direct link. If you have a photobucket account you can go into your profile and the "forum profile information" and see what I did. If you want to click the "browse" button there you can pick a photo out of your "my pictures" file on your computer and go that route.
Probably what happened was a while back when the site got hacked you lost your avatar pic...it won't come back, you'll have to fix it yourself.
