adding https pictures in threads

Hello all

I tried to post a thread with some pictures in it but the img link does not accept pictures with https URLs.

I am using picasa web and they use https to all their picture URLs. Would it be possible to fix this? If I remember mtgthesource had this problem as well but they did fix it.

Thanks

Hi olesch, I use Picasa as well and have been able to post https pictures here without problems so long as they were .jpg files. I did notice that when I tried to post a .png picture from Picasa it wouldn't show up. Try converting the file type to .jpg and see if it works.

It worked!

I tried the same with my avatar but I get the error:

"The URL of the remote avatar is not valid"

Could be that the avatar URL needs to be a http one?
