Mods, Help with this please---, page 1

Hello, I am trying to get an avatar, I am following all the rules and guidlines, i am able to correctly upload the image, copy the URL (which is files.abovetopsecret.com...) but when I paste it to the avatar URL option and click on 'submit' my avatar URL disapears and I have 'no avatar'...Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong???

Heres a step by step--
A take a picture that i like,
Fix it in size with paint or photoshop,
Go on ats, open my account, upload the image into my account,
Click on the URL,
once i am on the site hosting the image, i copy it (files.abovetopsecret.com...)
go into the account settings option,
go to where it says 'avatar URL'
paste in the URL,
click on submit,
NOTHING HAPPENS. No avatar, not even the name of the url.

So if any mods can help??
