Ugh, sorry for being so n00bish but..... I just changed my icon and now I can't see it(no matter what icon URL I put in). Is there usually an amount of time before you can see your updated avatar next your posts, or is there something wrong with it? Thanks! KiwiMarine

Did you type in the size? You need to do that, I often forget and my icons take a while to show.

If it's a url without the www. you need to add that. Because that's the problem I had.

Here we go. When you look at photobucket now, there are 4 selections for links. One for IM, one for just link, one for HTML, and one for forums (image brackets). Chose the link from the second box. ^^

Instead of draging the mouse over the characters, and then clicking paste, click the forum link to the picture instead. It copies it right away. I had the same problems with my siggy.

No wonder. Kiwi, you're hosting your icon from deviantart. That might be why. Save the icon to the computer. Take it to a site like photobucket, tinypic, or imageshack and host it there. Link it and it may just work. ^^

Yeah, and the sites are free and you can host loads of stuff.

And now THAT isn't working when it worked only a month ago. I'll try the advice given about the URLs on Photobucket. EDIT: Alright, the URL is fine but what I discovered is no matter what computer I use after I change the URL and select modify it acts as if I didn't put any URL in. Then, when I modify again the space where I just put my avatar avatar URL is blank.

Sometimes, they just don't work. But then they end up working on another day. Try ImageShack. Maybe you just need a different host site.

I remember one time, this happened to me with my signatures. I tried hosting a sig off Photobucket but no matter what I did, it would not show up!! It started showing when I hosted it on ImageShack. However, I had two sigs. The other sig was also a Photoshop hosted pic and it showed up just fine.
I'd go with Shock Wave on the notion that it is a glitch.
