Rhoach Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 (edited) Hey, so I uploaded an image to imagedump.com and tried to use it for my avatar, only to get the following message: 'Sorry, but the URL you entered for your avatar was incorrectly formatted or the link is not valid' I tried using the address that says: Link directly to this image, as well as the address in the address bar. I don't have any personal webspace I can use for the image, and don't want to go through the pain-in-the-ass which is the acquisition of a personal website. Any suggestions? p.s. The picture is a 64 x 64 pixel .jpg image. The link to the page it's on is http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=74620 Edited May 20, 2004 by Rhoach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Ok, this time I tried wow-ra.com's image uploader tool, and it seemed to work at first, except the image isn't shown, just a black square with a red X in the upper left corner...

Balandar Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 You need to use the link to the image, and not the link to the webpage. E.G. http://www.imagedump.com/pics/74620.jpg However, they may have it setup so you cannot link to the image from other webpages. When that happens it will usually come up with a different image or no image at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hm. Any clue why wow-ra's uploader thingamajigger didn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 looks like it worked to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 (edited) Still didn't figure out either of those things Edited May 22, 2004 by Rhoach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Rhoach, what are you still having problems with? Your Wow-Ra Avatar is showing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yeah, I have a picture on my hard drive I wanted to upload to somewhere (anywhere!) and use it for my avatar, but I couldn't figure it out and just ended up direct-linking to my avatar on Wow-Ra. If someone could tell me where I could upload a .jpg image, or just what I've been doing wrong with wow-ra's uploader or imagedump.com's services, I'd appreciate it.
