Those still with avatars, are you all still posting them from Photobucket?

Thanks. Do you know if Flickr and Photobucket are the only ones that work for posting avatars?

You can use tinypic or imgur.

Good question and I didn't remember where my avatar is housed. It was originally on Picasa but all those photos seem to have been moved to Google Photos.

I finally got around to trying to do an avatar again so I uploaded an image to imgur. Tried to use it in my profile but it keeps telling me "The URL of the remote avatar is not valid".

It won't accept avatars that are https. If you cut that part of the address out it should work.

For example, if the address is

https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/396/31564479986_611843d7e6_o.jpg

you can put in

c1.staticflickr.com/1/396/31564479986_611843d7e6_o.jpg

and it should work
