    Make sure it is uploaded to a webspace whose provider allowes image hosting/sharing/etc. Places like geocities or tripod don't.

    If you search the forums a bit, I know that there are some tricks discussed on how to trick the sites to allow you to do this.. something like renaming the image with a "txt" extension or something.

    also, this board's custom icon url checker seems to be case sensitive, so there <b>is</b> a difference between "Icon.jpg" and "icon.jpg"

    Actually, anywhere on the internet the part after the .com/.net/.org/.whatever is case-sensitive. That's why everything should always be made in lower-case.

    ...and the tricking of the freesites does not apply to avatars. The avatar trans-loader the IB uses checks image extension, so it won't allow you to use a '*.txt' file as a valid image. <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

    hehe! that's a good one jed!

    ShadowFang: if i host your avatar, will it be more likely that my computer will get hacked? I have an ftp adress on swedish TELIA.

    EDIT: not forever by the way...

    For some reason Shadow, I can see your avatar from home, but anywhere else (Ive tried two other places) it does not display.
