request to add this to the FAQ

on: September 14, 2017, 11:18:42 am
it would be great if someone could add this to the FAQ: "how to set my avatar"
because i find it quite complicated how to set it up with the url and stuff, and i think others might aswell. mostly i can't find right the url on imgur or deviantart and my image isn't set. i managed to do this once but i wanted another image and i can't remember how i did this..

You need to use the direct link to the image. This is the link to the image itself. You can find it by right clicking on an image and choosing "copy image location/address" or searching for the sharing link that has a file extension, eg .png .gif

OOOOH thankyou. i get it now XDD though it would still be useful if it was placed in the FAQ. i read the "what's an avatar" thing but it didn't tell me. idk if it's placed somewhere else though.

It should be immediate as far as I know. That is the correct link, make sure you save the changes after you put it in. Maybe try getting rid of the "https://" don't know why that would make a difference but I notice mine doesn't have it.

If it's still not working you might want to send a message to Crow or wait until he sees this.

Edit: okay so try  http://i.imgur.com/YQ34Noi.png
I just messed with mine a bit and that's the only form that works. You would need to ask someone more knowledgeable than me as to why.
