I haven't posted in a long time, but when I posted today, I noticed my Avatar was not appearing.

I tried replacing my avatar with two hosting services, Postimage.com ang ImgurBB, and kept getting this message in my profile, edit , image URL,
The URL does not appear to be accessible."

What am I doing wrong?
I have used the Direct Link & Message board format when entering the image Https:

Send me the image and I'll host it for you.

Thank you very much. I am not computer illiterate, but this has perplexed me.

I had posted my original avatar using Tinypic, which I understand is now defunct.

I will send the image soon.

Your computer literacy is not the problem. It's the hosting site. Many hosting sites do not support avatars. Mr. Monkey does support avatars and in fact, hosts mine.

Here's a backup:

Well, maybe you or monkey could resize your avatar to 60x60

You do realize your avatar is currently 2,592 x 1,944 pixels, right?

I've emailed you a cropped 60x60. https://avatarhost.files.wordp...2016/11/cne32507.jpg

Thanks Jim. I've had to change hosting sites also and didn't realize...

Hell, now I can't get rid of it!
