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.
