Title: Broken Avatar
Post by: Griffyn612 on August 02, 2011, 05:21:48 PM
Hey guys, my avatar is showing as a broken pic.  It's 100x100, and posted on Photobucket.  It's a JPEG, 6.74kb.  Any ideas why it's not showing?

Your album is set to "private."

Thanks.  I checked the settings, and it wasn't private, but I didn't know there were different link options.  I tried posting the direct link as opposed to the email/IM link, and it worked.  Thanks!

Well, I can be wrong, but I read it as Harry, Murph, Thomas, Molly and Eb

Sounds right considering the name of the pic in his avatar is "Harry and Murphy"

Well, they look like Harry and Murph, but in the sig, Murph would be K, Bell, not the Haven actress.

Uuu, cool sig. I like the Thomas choice, Green Arrow from Smalville :)

My avatar isn't working either.  It just isn't showing up, and I did make sure that the picture was public, and I have the artist's permission to use it.

Mine didn't work at first because my pic was on Photobucket in a sub folder. I uploaded it to the main album and then it finally worked. Have no idea why but I don't think the site liked the percentage as part of the link?  :)

I was having trouble with my photobucket avatar too, even when it was set to public.  Before the site switch, I had it on private, but it still displayed fine.  A few days ago, though, the site seemed to reject the URL I gave it, even though it brought me to the image just fine when I copy-pasted it into the URL bar.

I think I have it fixed.  Neither flickr nor facebook would work, so I uploaded it to photobucket, then realized I had to resize it.  I hope it's an acceptable size now.  It's from John Kovalic, the artist/cartoonist who does Dorktower, Apples to Apples, and the Munchkin card game.  I asked his permission to use it as an icon/avatar and he gave it to me, for which I will always be grateful, because it really is perfect for me.  The only way it could be more perfect would be if the spinster cat lady had red hair and a wall of bookcases behind her.

Yes, it is wonderful and of a good size.  ;)

I just realized what your sig was and squeaked.

Most people got it, but since not everyone was, I updated it to make it a little easier.  Now the fun is in figuring out each one...  Not too hard...

Uuu, cool sig. I like the Thomas choice, Green Arrow from Smalville :)

Due to silent but deadly protest, I changed the Thomas in the new sig.  I always pictured Thomas as a blonde for some reason like Justin Hartley from Smallville, but people kept telling me I did it wrong.  So in the new sig, it's Matt Bomer from Chuck/White Collar, who the ladies have generally said is just as acceptable.

Bomer is the person I always imagined as Thomas but really Thomas has gray eyes, and is whiter and skinnier. He has black hair, really. But I can imagine Hartley with black hair, no problem there.
