Avatar

My avatar is no longer working... guess photobucket has decided I can no longer use their site for my link without upgrading..99.00 a year is kinda steep for my icon.... is there another way or place I can put my picture and link it to here??

EDIT

I googled and it seems like lots of people were affected by this.... found a place .... vgy.me so far it is working

Thanks, Winfrey, that does seem to be a bit steep. Thanks for sharing the site you found

Winfrey, why don't you just use your OneDrive with your Microsoft account? You have a lot of free storage there. I host a lot of things there.

I can get a link

https://1drv.ms/i/s!Aldwo-VsHI6x0D9lRklZCd6wd0VB

but This doesn't work for the avatar..

So, if you use that link in the "URL to your avatar" option, it won't work, right?

right says wrong format

So, pray tell, what is the format of this GIF? From our My Place, it says, ".gif, .jpg, .png accepted." SO make sure the file on your One Drive is a GIF - at least I assume it is a GIF since there is animation.

it is a gif... but it doesn't reconize the link

Well, that seems strange. I might try to upload my avatar to One Drive and see if it recognizes the link tomorrow.

I can always host your avatar on my space with my ISP. I think I still have Rosaboobie's there too!

I've been trying all different ways lol with both onedrive an icloud... not sure what vgy.me is but it seems to work this is strange... I have been using that Photobucket for like 15 + years... now they tell me....

Well I finally got it to work with dropbox.. I changed the link...

Just replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com and this will serve actual file instead of getting previewed in a site.
Example of default Dropbox public shared link path:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwyt8v55bhbj3vv/20150819-dropbox-logotype-blue.png?dl=0
Replaced with a actual file path:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/kwyt8v55bhbj3vv/20150819-dropbox-logotype-blue.png


So after changing the link to this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jorg5ps5r1fe21k/Winfrey4.GIF?dl=0

I went back and took off the ?dl=0
it worked
--------------------------------
didn't work with onedrive :-(

You are far more persistent than I am! Nicely done!
