Interesting. Well you would use the direct link :
http:// steemimg.com/images/2016/11/10/SkekzyzAvatar01a195d.jpg
but for some reason steemit isn't picking it up, All files are public and if you navigate to the image url it shows up just fine. I am looking into this now

As you see it is a .jpg and quite old, as in 12+ years, but it's the same one I use everywhere else unless it needs a smaller image size kb or pixels, which I made downsized ones long ago too.
The first difference I notice is that my URL with the short code is missing a ".jpg" where pfunk's has a ".png".
Does steemit have any restrictions on image size or type for the avatar?
Could something have gone wrong when I put the short code URL in first?

to fix for now add "www." to the URL , sorry looks as though some DNS settings may be off

looks like that worked

thanks hope the bug reporting helped
