arantius Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I can't seem to link an avatar from ImageShack. I had worked it out before the password reset (uploaded smaller av 100x75 - whereas before the board used to resize it), but since the reset the ImageShack av won't load - I get a little blue and white question mark instead. At the moment, my FB av is fine as it's kind of non-descript but other times my FB pic is more personal and I don't want that appearing here. I also don't want to start a Gravatar account if I don't have to (like other people who posted in the avatar upload thread). Thought I'd start a new thread for this URL problem. Any ideas how to help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Are you registered on IS, mate? I always link from there and had to register to get the correct link after uploading to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arantius Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 I guess I'm registered; I have an account that I login to. I'm actually wondering now whether it's just an intermittent problem because I went back and checked the old av that I thought was 'too big' and it was actually only 100x88, so I guess the problems I had prior to the password reset weren't caused by size after all and it was just coincidence that after I loaded a new image the link suddenly 'worked'.

arantius Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Haha, working now :) I'd previously tried the links from "Short Link: Link" and "Thumbnail Size: Forums" and they didn't work. I've just tried the "Full Size: Direct" link and it took. Maybe that's the same process I went through a fortnight ago, I can't remember! So if anyone else is having the same problem, try using the 'direct' link. And thanks for the reply Stubbs :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonius Pius Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Are you registered on IS, mate? I always link from there and had to register to get the correct link after uploading to it. I struggled with that too, but I finally registered on gravatar. For some reason I did not want to register on ImageShack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
