I have a photobucket account and tried to copy the url but it didn't work.
I also resized the photo to 100 x 79. 7kb

What am I missing?
I think the first time I did it it didn't show up for a while.

Did you try uploading it directly from your computer?

I didn't try to upload it from my computer because it's in my photobucket account.

My current avatar is from my photobucket account.
I'm trying to change the current avatar of the car to something else.

I just can't remember how I did it.

there are 4 different ones on photobucket.Which one do I use?

Share URL
Direct Link
HTML Tag
IMG Code

I think IMG Code is correct right?

It keeps telling me invalid file.

No, remove the image tags. It wants the direct URL.
