Right-clicking where your image *should* be and picking "Copy URL" gives me..

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/[img ]http://locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/2rsz_striker_pics_aug_2009_015.jpg[/img]

as the link.

It should be a valid URL (address) directly to the upload bit... i.e. it *should* be...

http://locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/2rsz_striker_pics_aug_2009_015.jpg

Adjust the URL in your profile section and take out the bits that aren't needed then keep right-clicking and copying URL until you get a proper URL that shows your picture.

Hope that helps. May not be very clear explanation

Edit to say...
Change it to /upload/2rsz_striker_pics_aug_2009_015.jpg
and it should work

Avatars should be no bigger than 150 pixels on a side. Yours looks bigger than that.
