Can't Display My Images

Okay instead of filling up my other thread dedicated to an official Tex thing, I have decided to post my issues here. Alright everytime I attempt to load an image from Image Shack which I have always done for the board, it states that I cannot do anything or has failed. Now what is going on here? Sai I tried to do the delete the avatar and replace it with the new link but it didn't work and now I have no Avatar. What's going on here? Does anyone know why this stuff isn't working?

:shock:
I remember they were fussy and the image used to have to have certain dimensions and be no bigger than a certain size and you had to spin in a circle three times to get it to work. It's fussy.

If you are trying to use the "Upload from a URL" or "Link off-site" options, try specifying the dimensions, instead of using the auto-detect. ImageShack places a lot of restrictions on how images can be used from their servers, which results in the failure of the automatic size detection (this applies to signature images as well).

If all else fails, you should be able to upload the image directly from your computer to this server, instead of storing it on ImageShack.
Ah there we go, I have an Avatar again. So . . . from the sound of it Image Shack is a real beast. Am I to assume that it stinks that much? Can anyone suggest a better image storage site a place where I can store my images without hassle or constantly uploading this site?
Glad you got it sorted :)
http://www.photobucket.com (and http://www.tinypic.com/ also owned by Photobucket) is the other main contendor to ImageShack so you could give them a whirl although I'm not sure if they also impose restrictions since I use my own webspace instead.
