Hi,

have you tried entering http://a.random-image.net/jestyn/fuko.gif as the URL instead?
If that does not work, can you give me the exact wording for the description of the field you are trying to put it in? Sometimes the way the forum is set up can prevent you from using an image randomizer all together...

Could it be that the forum that jestyn is trying to take the randomizer image as a upload and store an image onto it's server?

Edit: If it's not too much of a privacy issue, can you share the link of the forum? Last I remember vbulletin is a forum software and does no actual hosting of it's own. The admin of your forum might have set it up to take an image have it hosted internally, instead of an external link.

thanks for replying, anyways, yep it accepted that link, but now the problem is it doesn't switch when i refresh the page

anyways not really sure if this is the info what you' were asking me but this is where i put the link


-Edit: Also i just noticed that when i go directly to that link you gave me, it tooks more than one refresh before it switch to another image

well not really, because whenever the image is deleted from it's host it also affects my avatar on this forums

anyways i would give you the link but not really sure if im allowed to put a forum link here, because in some forums some people recieve a warning by putting a link from another forums, i know that there's no really a rule here regarding that, but even so in the other forums people still receives a warning by doing so even it isn't in the rules
