It tells me it is an invalid image. I uploaded it on both imgur and photobucket to link with no luck. What could I have done incorrectly to get the error message. This is the first time I've tried to update my forum image when the image was mine. Could it be a problem with the type of image or something I did wrong on photobucket and imgur? I created an account on each of those just a few minutes ago so the problem may also be something I did wrong on those sites since I'm a complete noob there >w<. This is the first issue I couldn't find an answer to, either by myself or on the forums so I hope no one else has asked this type of question. If they have please link me to it and I'm sorry >.<

i think there has been some difficulty using photobucket for forum images. imgur should work fine, but you have to make sure you are using the direct image link, not the one that links to the image's imgur page (if that makes sense). for example, this is the link to an image's imgur page:

http://imgur.com/r4zFQ6T

and this is the image's direct link:

http://i.imgur.com/r4zFQ6T.png

notice that the direct link has an 'i.' at the beginning of the URL, and the image extension (in this case, .png) at the end of the URL. the direct link is found by simply dragging the image into the URL bar, or by right-clicking the image and choosing "open image in new tab."

Thank you so much!! I've never done this before so I didn't know the difference! Thats very helpful I'll be sure to do that now! Edit: It worked!! Thank you for the help. I just recently started doing digital art and even if it's not great I wanted to have a forum image that I made myself >w< Now I just need to practice so I can get better! Thank you sooooo much!!!

no problem, glad to help 😊
