Sorry, this isn't DF-related, but I was worried it wouldn't be seen by Toady or Threetoe if I stuck it in the General category.

I just had to change my avatar image (turns out Photobucket isn't free anymore so they'd blurred my old one) and it wasn't accepting the link no matter where I hosted it. Finally I figured out why: it only accepts http, not https. Since almost everything defaults to https now, this is likely to stump quite a few people (took me about 20 minutes of fiddling to figure it out). If it can't be set up to accept https, perhaps a note could at least be added to the edit forum profile screen warning people of this little quirk?
