Probably because you hot-linked to the pic. People don't like that because when you hot link, you are basically stealing bandwidth from that server owner.
Save the pic you want to use and store it on a server where you have an account. Then link to it.
If you need some server space, PM me and I'll give you some.
OE I noticed the avatar change right away. But I figured since coolchef had guessed it, you were upgrading it to a cooked version or whatever. I was going to ask about it but hell, when I do that I'M the one who usually looks stupid so I just keep quiet.

The avatar I used was a picture on my own computer which I took myself of a poutin I made.
The avatar that is pictured now comes from a web site that I have no link to except for the recipe of Acadian Poutin not french fries and gravy.
