avatars not showing up

[TWOM]

I'm not an idiot, so I checked and doublechecked my avatar urls and they still aren't showing up. As a test I selected one of the generic avatars that comes with a proboard account and it doesn't show up either. I'm not sure why.
When I go to the urls themselves, the pictures are viewable. I have a real site with a paid host and images are allowed to be linked to from another site. Here is one that I tried.

This not a bug and moving to support.

Do you own theworldofmagic.co.uk?

If not, then you are hotlinking from that website. Here is some more info about hotlinking.

Yes, I own theworldofmagic.co.uk

I know about hotlinking but since I own it (hosted on e-rice.net) and use it all of the time to host my images I'm confused by this problem.

Also, the proboard default avatars aren't working. They show up when you select them in your profile but as soon as you look at a post they're gone. When you go back into your profile section it acts as if you hadn't chosen an avatar.

Please help!

Nomatter where I look and what I change I can't seem to fix it. It's making me crazy! Please help!

Could you screenshot your modify avatars page?

I am having exactly the same problem with one of my new members. You can add an avatar and it once you've confirmed modification it appears on the profile, but seconds later it is gone.

make you are entering the full http:// (URL) to your avatars? ..also the use of image tags-->[img][/img] are not needed, alot people make this mistake quite often.

Yes but once the modify profile button is clicked the avatar should show up for the member in their posts. In the future if you have a problem of your own please create your own thread. Yes, I know your problem is similar but each member has to create his/her own thread for their problem.

sorciere, I went to your forum and indeed the link for your avatar is broken. When I click to view the image itself alone I get a file not found error. Are you sure the url is correct? Check by going to one of your posts or your profile--> right click the image--> properties--> confirm that the url is correct. As it stands now it looks like an issue with your host.
