I have entered URL it is a dropbox addy, (public) no luck. Also tried a link to Picasa, same thing.
Are there certain things that have to be taken into account? Suggestions on what strategy will work?

Hi, Unfortunately it depends on the URL that's being used. I'm not familiar with Dropbox's system, but I know with Picasa they use a secure https:// address for images. If you remove the s from https:// in the URL that they provide you, it should work out so long as you're using the direct link to the image. If this does not work, can you provide the link that you're trying to use in the logo URL area of the skin page?  |

Thanks for checking back, though unfortunately that URL brings you to a web page. We would need a direct link to the image itself, which would end in a file format such as .jpg, .png, .gif, and etc. An example of a valid URL would be: www.proboards.com/resources/images/android-promo2.png -- just to give an idea. If you upload your image to a free image host like Photobucket or ImageShack, these services will give you a "Direct URL" available in their share options. Something like this would be what you would need to look for |

Use Imageshack. Once uploaded only use the 'Direct Link' This happened to me just before and I only just figured out mine. I was using the normal link but you have to use the DIRECT LINK. My Forums- ultimategamezone.proboards.com |
