What do you mean "it's an invalid link"? I'm thinking, when you click it, nothing comes up? It does for me. And it's definitely a JPEG.

You have to host the image at www.imageshack.us

Then, take the url from there and paste it into the proper spot in your profile.

I just don't see why. I have it hosted already. I guess it just has to be certain hosting sites? Sorry. It just doesn't make sense to me, and a reason behind these things will help me understand a little better.

When people click your link, all that comes up is "Not authorised." Try hosting it yourself and maybe it'll work.

Try right-clicking on your image and selecting "copy image location" or the equivalent. Then paste it.
