Help: AIM Buddy Icons Not Displaying

[arh2o]

This problem has been happening for some time. For some odd reason my AIM buddy icons don't appear. The AIM options say that they are on, but when i IM one of my friends it does not show my icon OR THEIR icon to the left. I've tried everything, even deleting my buddy list and reloading it via the "Save Buddy List" option. I tried switching to trillian to see if it would display the icons. No luck. If anyone is having the same problem post here, and if anyone knows the solution it would be greatly appreciated.
