Hello! I have a problem with uploading an avatar, I keep getting a notification that it couldn't be find. I resized the image to 150x150 pxl. I used imgur. I tried reuploading it and uploading a different picture but it still didn't work. I also tried other image hosting sites (catbox and sta.sh) and still the same error. Plsss help I don't wanna be stuck avatarless

Edit: I'm using direct links

Another user in Bug Boards just experienced it - re-uploading the image to IMGBB fixed the issue, so I am thinking the issue is on imgur's side! Try using another site to upload the image and see if it works and remember to save your images as PNG - jpg is a problematic format that may be causing issues on its own.

Absinthe Ξ¨, try instead uploading it to https://imgbb.com/

Page not found means the resizing site only stores the picture for a while, then deletes it. IMGBB has the option to store picture indefinitely, and other users have commented it worked for them.

You need a direct link. Make sure you're getting the right one!

Direct link ends with a .png

Like:

https://static.lioden.com/images/icon_beetlerhino.png

This is a direct link. On Imgur, right-click on the image itself and press Open in new tab, then copy the link in the adress bar. It should be ending with .png!

I was just having the same problem, I was trying everything, even direct links weren't working, the only thing I got to work was this site, https://www.simpleimageresizer.com/upload# I resized my image, and the url it gave me was the only thing to work since the server change.

I did use direct links. I always used custom avatars and it worked, just recently it stopped working for some reason. Thanks Kaz, I'll try using the site

I'm also experiencing this issue using imgur. I'm going to try the fix posted by Kaz when I get home and have access to the file. But I wanted to see if anyone had found any other fixes or workarounds for this in the meanwhile.

I'll give that a shot later as well. The avatar I want to use is PNG, so that shouldn't be an issue. Thank you!

Update: I hosted the same avatar elsewhere and it's working fine now. It must be an imgur thing, which is so weird because my CSS images are all hosted on imgur and I have no issues with them at all. At least there is a workaround for the avatar issue. Thank you for the help!

Bloodlusty, you're using the wrong link. It is NOT a direct link if it doesnt end with .png
The correct link is:
