Hey. I'm having trouble with the avatar and signature. I found an image for each but when I put in the url it just shows a box with that annoying red X. How do I fix it so it shows the right picture?

It's the host. Here's the message I got when I copy-pasted in the URL.

The file you have requested is not publically available.
I can't give you any help here. It's a problem with VillagePhotos. Do they allow off-site linking? Is the image passworded?

You'll probably have to source the images from elsewhere. I'd recommend copying them and uploading to webspace of your own. That way you won't have any issues that spring up from stealing someone else's bandwidth.

er... did you visit the site?
villagephotos is a host who's entire intention is to allow people hotlinkable storage space for images.
dude:
Of course, if you're actually nabbing the link from someone else's account who keeps using their day's bandwidth,
or are using the gallery link, not the one you're told to use
that could be your problem
