My avatar flew the coop! Now when I paste the link and hit submit the link disappears! What gives?

I think your avatar hates you. Don't know what happened but I put it back for you.

possibly the site where the avatar is hosted from is down.

That is really strange! The avatar IS on the site and the site is up and running. But, no picture in the avatar space.

Your avatar is not actually kept on lostkjs.com's site. Only the URL is recorded, so if the server that actually hosts the avatar is offline for any reason it will not show up.

I've seen this before with stuff on imageshack - I'd say it's time to find a new site to host your images.

It can also happen if the server is checking the "referrer URL" and denies the request. This can happen if the server is set up to only allow browsing from the restricted set of webpages (e.g., from their own webpages).

I have an account at Photobucket maybe I'll put it there and see what happens. Thanks everyone!

That's where I put all my images and I haven't had any problems in the year plus that I've had them there.

This doesn't work either. It only shows up here in the post.

I'm seeing the image just fine.

Fulltimer · **Posted:** Sun Jan 20, 2008 5:33 pm

Yes, but not in the avatar. I put the addy in there and hit submit and the field goes blank.

in case for some reason the link that was there is dead, check off the box delete image then press submit then host it from the source that you just posted that pic from and try that

ya Ive always had problems adding an avatar here, I can on every other forum w/o any problems

host it at image shack that set it to the thumbnail size then copy the direct link to image one and paste it in the avator one, worked out for me
