Well I officially hate photobucket. Someone siphoned off all my bandwidth by using that gif I had been using as an avatar here and now I can't link any gifs or photos here for an avatar. Photobucket are a bunch of clowns who openly admit in the 4 years I've had the account that I've never come close to exceeding bandwidth and that it probably was "stolen" from me but the only option I have now is upgrading to pro. I told them to shove it. I'm not paying them or flickr 25 bucks a year to host photos when I barely come close to using all of the free space.

Anyhow my new dilemma is every time I try to link a flickr photo for an avatar here (even using the small square 75 x 75) it says the link is invalid! Flickr had to go an make it difficult so now I'm avatar-less. Can anyone help? I've tried cutting an pasting the bbcode and shortening the link (but I'm not sure what it should look like) and just grabbing the link and neither work. Please show me what I'm doing wrong?

post the link you are trying to use.
i'll see if i can figure it out.

i removed the "[" in front of the second half so it would post all code.
