I tried getting the following link added to the right of the forum text:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/efinesse/floshbyspiritstory.jpg

So the image works as it shows up above, but when I enter it into the Image URL field, and click on "set preferences", I get the error "Oh No! Oh no, that isn't a valid image!". Can we only upload images into the forums with imgur, as it says "We suggest imgur to host your images"??

The last person I helped with this issue had their picture uploaded on photobucket as well and it didn't work. Imgur (and some other upload site) worked fine. So somehow photobucket is blocked :/

Thank you for the info! That's a bummer, I'm not going to upload all my images there, so I'll stick with the little ones in my signature.

I use photobucket and my image is showing up properly tho ..

You mean the one in your signature? That one works for me as well, but not in the forum text, where you can automatically put it at the right of your text.

Oh! Sorry I derped ha ha. But yeah. We are weirdly unable to use photobucket if you plan to use the direct way.

No worries. :)

I use photobucket and I don't think I've been having issues

Strange, I just tried it again, and it keeps giving me the error of not being a valid image.
