I can't set my avatar

Hi,
I seem to have a problem setting my avatar.

This is the avatar I tried setting in my profile:
http://koobi-studio.com/lo/loAv.png
or
http://koobi-studio.com/lo/loAv.gif


None of them work.
I tried to remotely link them, by the way.



I doubt it's a vB bug because I'm running a forum on the same vB version as you guys are and it seems to work fine.



Can an admin please set my avatar for me?

I'm not so sure you can link directly to the image, it has to be upload to the site.

Try uploading it to the forums and it should work

Are you sure you don't have anti image hotlinking on your site?

Nope, Apache allows that on my site. I hotlink images from my site on other forums all the time.



Anyway, I uploaded the image to the TF server. I assumed hotlinking would work since the option was available and I would prefer that so if an admin can give me some feedback on that, it would be cool

Providing a URL for your avatar is the same as locating it on your hard drive - VB still fetches it and stores it locally.

Glad it's sorted now
