    I tried to change the image for the group but got errors even when using the recommended services. I finally got one URL to work...

    The two that failed:

    http://tinypic.com/r/15d0u4g/7

    I assume it may be related to not having the file extension on it. This one worked:

      Please disregard this. After posting I clicked on the links and found out that they are actually links to the "page" and not to the actual image. My bad.... have never used these services before...

        Tinypic for example, you use not direct link to image, Direct link is http://i54.tinypic.com/15d0u4g.jpg

          I once stepped on that trap too, maybe worth a short wiki article (showing which link on tinypic to use, etc.)

            Maybe this thread is not so useless as I thought.

            One "notes" line on the upload group image should do the trick but I realize that it maybe easier to write a wiki than having that one page changed.

              We can add a little note on that page.

              Currently it reads: "It must be a direct link to an image hosted on either share.ovi.com, TinyPic or ImgUR, and must be 60x60 pixels."

              How about something like this instead: "It must be an image hosted on either share.ovi.com, TinyPic or ImgUR, and must be 60x60 pixels. Make sure to use the direct link to the image (usually with a .png at the end) and not to the HTML page showing the image."

              Looks ok?

                It should do the trick.... I would just get the "direct link" in bold letters! :)
