Tinypic, Imgur, background url -resolved-

[That.one]

So I'm trying to change the image for my background and I've tried tinypic, photobucket, and imgur but they don't work. There is only http:// no https://. Why is that? Is there a host that does work right now? I'm at odds! >_<

For some reason, urls from random image searches work fine.

Are you sure you're using the direct link and not the URL of the page to view the image on the host?

For example, the direct link for my avatar is http://i248./gg194/PraexeumJade/DAP-sunglasses.png but the URL of the page I'd go to in my Photobucket album to view/delete/rename it is http://s248./gg194/PraexeumJade/?action=view&current=DAP-sunglasses.png

Also, the reason why https:// won't work is because the photo hosts don't use secure connections for simply serving images (because no data needs to be secured, unlike when logging into your account with them, for example).

Thank you for the reminder. Gah, I really forgot about the direct link thing. OTL'''

Ah, so that's why? Interesting. ^-^
