avatar issues

DoctorIt

Anyone else having issues changing their avatar? I just wanted to change out of my santa hat, back to my old avatar, and it won't work. When I put in the URL of the same image I used to use, it says "invalid URL".

what up? :scratch

I'll paste it in right here, just to double check:



yup, it works.

I fixed ya. You have to upload it, not link it. Dunno why the linking doesn't work, I'll ask Baldy when I get the chance.

I don't know why. I looked in two locations and everything I can access is on, but no reference to linking of avatars.

It appears to do nothing but grab your avatar from your website, and put it on our server. So, uploading it does the same thing.

I'm sorry about the confusion.
