Hey I see your avatar just fine. It's working. | |||

Yeah, that is the tinypic one  . Trying to change it over to the imgbb.ETA, which I cannot get to work. Or Imageshack. I was able to use some freeimagehosting site, that apparently uses imgur, and get a code the forum accepted. Weird thing is, I can't use imgur, unless I download an app for my phone.

Today, I received an e-mail from TinyPic providing details on the timeline:  Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

It doesn't work because avatar hosting is a violation of their Terms of Service:  Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Another free image hosting website that their TOS prohibits avatar hosting:  Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Thanks. I just signed up. I get 30 days to try out full features before paying $18.99. BTW, the avatar in this post is ImageShack and the image in my other posts is TinyPic.

Meh, I'll just use one of the forum avatars. It's not really that important that I have a custom avatar. Loyalty Above All Else, Except Honor ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

My avatar is hosted there & I can see it here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

And you can use Paypal for gun transactions until Paypal catches on. The point is, they don't have the means to police every single user's photos to check to see if they're hosting avatars, but they'll shut you down for violating their Terms when/if they catch you doing it. | |||

I'll deal with it when they catch on. All my pics are stored elsewhere as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

So I've been using postimage since TinyPic's demise, but I can't get Sig Forum to accept the direct link of my avatar. It says that it cannot access the url. Help?!?! Adios, Pizza Bob NRA Benefactor Member | |||

^^^^^^^^ Postimage doesn't support avatar hosting. Serious about crackers | |||
|
For real? |
I was using tinypic as well. Last night I went to freeimagehosting.net for my current avatar. It seems they host their images on imgur. Not minority enough! | |||

How do image hosting sites that don’t support avatars detect that an image is being used as an avatar? Serious about crackers | |||
|

They probably have some sort of algorithm that compares image size, frequency of view/bandwidth use, and classification of hotlinking site. Very small images (50x50ish) that are accessed very frequently through web forum sites are likely to be avatars. | |||

After the demise of Photobucket (they didn't go out of business, just lost their minds going from free to $400/yr) I switched to Postimage. Avatars worked for about a month and then they shut them down (suspect too much bandwidth). That's how I ended up with avatars at Tinypic. This week, I moved my avatars to Creslin's site that he describes in this thread Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Probably most folks know this, but for those who don’t… If, while viewing a thread with my iPhone, I hold my finger on an avatar, a window pops up with an offer to copy it. If I choose “Copy”, the avatar’s URL is inserted into my iPhone’s paste buffer. Handy. Serious about crackers | |||

This works! Click embed and copy the url. OK, maybe not. The pic I chose shows in my Personal Zone, but not in this post. | |||
