Well, since it's an image, you need to make sure that your use the field in <img> tags. You may also run into problems if your users don't fill out the field correctly. For instance, if you ask them to enter the full url (http://www.whatever.com/image.jpg), then you would write the tag as:

<img src="$userinfo[fieldxx]">

But, what if they don't follow directions and only input www.whatever.com/image.jpg ? Then when you write the tag, you will end up with a broken link. So, you may have to do some checking in the field. I've seen users talk about this here before, but I don't know how to do it so you'll have to search it out.
