None of them work for me.
It keeps telling me the link is incompatible. :cry:
Tinypic just says "this IP has been banned." for some reason. :?

:D :D Are you sure you're doing the correct thing? Or picking the correct photo? The format of that image is small to be used. Either it's that, or the user photo's IP is old and was eliminated. Surely, the format reason makes more sense, because when I loaded the picture on Photobucket, it didn't occur to be any IP deletion. Let's just see what Unas thinks.(If he posts on this topic.) :idea: :)

For characters, you hit "use custom pictures" and input the URLs there. Check the "external icon" option for the portrait, or click the blue "add a pose" button to add poses. For backgrounds, check the "external background" option in the Place editor. For pretty much anything else, just check "Use external icon" and enter the URL.

The only trick is, you need to make sure that you're using the actual image's URL and not just the webpage containing it. If you don't know how to get that, just right click the image on imgur and select "copy image link" to get the right URL. The URL should end with .png, .gif, or .jpg.

Be sure you’re using the forum URL. It should be something like i.imgur/abunchofletters.com. If you copy it from the links drop down you might see that it’s sandwiched between 2 [img] tags, just delete the tags so it’s just the link

This is a very old topic, so let's lock this one and give space for a new topic to come up if needed.
