... but other people's avatars from whatever domain the browser page is using (typically 'www.democraticunderground.com'). I think they did that to speed up custom avatars showing up after members uploaded them.

The html also shows that avatar images are coded to be links to members' journals (clicking on the image takes you to their journal page).
Other people should be seeing your avatar just fine - any issue seems to be people not seeing their own avatar. You can double check the image that should be shown by either copying the image address and editing it to 'www' instead of 'upload' and opening it, or by viewing one of your posts in a browser where you are not logged in to DU.
