I received a timeout a couple years back for an inappropriate avi image. Ever since I've been unable to post images from dedicated sites. Just appears blank after I copy and paste the url. Am I doing something wrong or has that privilege been taken away? Thanks in advance.

Chances are that you aren’t posting the actual url to the image but rather the host's landing page for the image. I get the same result when I don’t do that. For example, that's exactly what happened with your avatar and why it isn't appearing:



Try right clicking on the image and directly copying its url. The url you’re looking for would usually end in a .jpg or .png.



In the case of your avatar you also incompletely copied the url for the landing page, preventing you from just adding a jpg or png to the end of it to get it to load.

If you think I’m wrong then paste an example url of how you’re doing it.

Thanks for getting back to me and sorry for the late reply it's been a busy morning.

Based off what you're telling me I'm using the wrong link. I wanna use ^this jacked kangaroo as my profile. Which image text should I use?

If you wanted to just post the image in a thread the url you would want would be "hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/701/jacked-kangaroo-australia-embed-1507898217.jpg?resize=768" with "https://" added directly to the beginning to get this:



If you want that as an avatar you'll need to save the image to your computer and then upload it to an approved image host like Tinypic or Imgur


Here you go



Paste this in the avatar field of your settings and save. "https://i.imgur.com/7YiSCak.jpg"

I don't care what anybody says about you, you're alright by me.

Here's to South Carolina and LSU meeting in Atlanta this year
