I just tried to change my avatar by linking to a url from another website, but it failed for some reason. Here is the message I get:
Does anybody know why this failed? To make it work, I uploaded the image from my hard drive instead.
BTW, the image is at http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f282/redbelly98/PhysicsForums/RedbellyAvatar_tiny-tim.gif
Another related question: when linking an avatar to a url, does the image file actually upload to PF's server, or is the external url location used to display the avatar (as is done with images and [ img] tags)? Reason I'm asking is some holiday avatars I'd like to use temporarily would exceed the 19.5 kB file size limit. But if something like [ img] tags are used to point to the external url, that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks,
RB
Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file.
