Custom Avatar Hosting
So, apparently my longtime image hosting website, imgur, no longer formats direct links to images in a way that supports using them as a custom avatar.
Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to switch to a different url of the same image?'I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.'

Under Imgur's FAQ for Forum Users
under "What can't I use Imgur for?" it says:
You're welcome to use Imgur to host your images, as long as they do not break our Terms of Service. This prohibits using Imgur in the following ways.
- As a content delivery network (CDN). This includes web objects like logos, avatars, icons, banners, and more.

Re: Custom Avatar Hosting
I'm currently using Dropbox to host mine. There's a limit to how much bandwidth they allow, but if you create an avatar-specific email and linked dropbox account, you probably won't exceed the download limits. I never have, and I use this avatar on two other forums.

Re: Custom Avatar Hosting
If you view the image source for users that have custom avatars, you can see what sites they use - that should give you some options to choose from.
