    Could someone please help me,

    I'm trying to get a mark onto my user page, i go to the panel, I made an account in Imageshack and copied the image link into the box, I hit enter and it tells me its an invalid link, I have tried every link on Imageshack and Deviantart and I still get the same thing. I followed the instructions under the box to the letter and guess I'm not understanding what its not working.

    The image attached to this is the one from Imageshack and its linking just fine on the thread V_V

    Try Photobucket and make sure it's in the right format. I had no problems with mine on photobucket.

    Make sure it's a direct link. Is the URL you put in the one that takes you to a page that still has the host site logo and scheme?

    I prefer here, upload and enter the anti-bot info and then use the bottom-most link in the panel.

    Make sure the URL ends with .jpeg or .png, or any kind of image file extension. As long as it does, the link should be valid.

    Well the answer is in there, for future reference:

    Unlike avatars cutie marks are not stored on our server, they are referenced from a remote location, specified by the user in their profile.
    If you've entered a 'full' working image filepath (from the world wide web) , there shouldn't be a problem. Linking from certain sites may not work however, due to their restrictions. E.g. an album of yours on another forum, only those logged into that forum may be able to see the image, which would make it inaccessible to most of our members.

    Also be sure to use 'direct' and 'static' links where the path ends in the image extension e. g.

    http://www.randomsite.com/images/myicon.jpg

    As opposed to things like;

    http://www.imagesrus.com/images/image.php?id=4546279

    OR

    http://564.imagerus.com/864/

    etc.
