Forums » Help » Broken links?

I am having issues with my artwork on my own profile. It's just a box now and it used to be an image of my avatar picture now. I was told it was a 'broken link'. I think it may have to do with what I am having to do in order to get a url to paste on the line of adding an image. Again, this is on my profile, not character sheet as they have the gallery which makes it easier to put pictures there....What or where are you guys saving/putting your images so that you have a url that won't get broken or replaced later? Imgur.... I believe it was called, it was what Kim suggested when the mascot contest was going on....I have a deviant art, do they have a url provided with the picture we add and I am not finding it? I may just be running circles in the wrong hen yard and be totally off, but they are the best I can come up with at the time.

i tend to just host my pictures on tumblr, but imgur works too! you can also put then on deviantart, just right click on the image and click on "open image in new tab" and you'll get an image link you can paste in the bbcode tag.

It looks like you used a link created by a service called 'SodaPDF'. The image they generated was probably a temporary one, which means sooner or later it gets deleted. If you use the URL they generated, but they delete the image later on, you get a broken image.

For a majority of image generators, this is always the case, so it's best to save the image to your computer, then upload your image to a separate host that is guaranteed to keep your image uploaded forever.

We actually had someone ask for places to upload images to and got several response! You might want to check it out: http://www.rprepository.com/community/forumthread.php?t=41166

Thank you both, I appreciated the time you guys gave to answer my question! ❤
