Well, it's not the image... it's the address.  Do you have another location?

Not at the moment.  I'll get one.  This is Imgur free image site.  I thought it might be the https rather than http.  Recommendations?  

Thanks

Well, it's a legit img. Perhaps the address is just to long.

I'm having similar issues. I'm hot linking from google drive. made sure the picture is available to the public in share setting. and created a shortened link.

I am going to embed it here then try hot linking back to it.

Ok, I still have no luck using my own pic for an avitar. I have tried a different avitar SPECIFIC host, a different pic that was taken by me etc.
One more question before I totally throw in the towel... the first thing to choose is the box by "no pic"  or what if I choose no pic, that default profile appears even when I put my image address in the provided location. If I click on an offered avitar then provide my image location it uses that chosen avitar.
Here is the image location I am using

having no luck using imgur.  reduced size to 61x70 using BBCode.  Do I copy the code after the https:/  or delete the https:/ then paste.  Also trying to post it here and use this address....if I can figure it out.

http://https://i.imgur.com/aQGVarks.jpg

EDIT:  i've copied this address then pasted into the box (also checked box).  Still didn't work.  I am using "small thumbnail" and also tried "small square".

What am I doing wrong?  Here's the original image for better clarity

Just this

I'm not sure if it's the "s" in https that preventing it.

still not working. But, at least the link is staying in the menu box.  I also tried Flickr.  I'll keep trying from time to time.  Thanks for your help.

trying again to add an avatar from imgur. I reduced the size.  Copy and paste the BBCode... here's the link.

I am checking the box that says I have my own avatar,  Then pasting the link after the https:/ that is already there.  I know im doing something wrong....

upload to suzukisavage website...meaning this forum?  I did so in post #20 above.  Then took that pic and "copy image address"  Then pasted that image address to the cpanel box.  This is what It looks like...

http://https://i.imgur.com/TZsEM94l.png

Then hit change profile at the bottom.

Nothing.

I have also deleted the first http:// ,,,, still nothing

Post by playhard67 on 01/23/19 at 04:17:48

ok. Finally got it to work.  I used the "Attach" button at the bottom of this "Post Reply". Attached the pic.  Then copied the link.  Put that link in the cpanel.  I had been posting the BBCode from Imgur, and that doesn't work.
whew....

Thanks Verslagen for your help.

Avatar attempt.

Update: I coped the link to the uploaded picture, selected (no pic) in 'Personalized Picture', checked the 'I have my own pic' box, pasted the link and pressed 'Change profile'.
There's still no avatar.  >:(

Second Update: It doesn't show the avatar in 'View my Profile' and immediately after completing the steps above, it wasn't in my posts. Apparently, it took a minute or more to appear.
