can't get photobucket link to display image

Hi. i created a button menu and included a url link to an image on the net. Doing that the image loaded with no problems. I set up a photobucket account and changed the link to a photobucket link but it does not load the image. Sorry if this has already been answered but i can't find in forum.

Normally I would say: The image might be too big, however, if it worked before, no reason why it shouldn't. Also seems to be a direct link, so it should work fine. So instead: Try http://i49.tinypic.com/16c9ds8.jpg and see if it works, then get back to us (Photobucket might be playing dumb!). But before doing that, do a refresh, and make sure its not your internet connection that is failing to grab the photobucket link. David buzztouchmods.com

Filesize may slow down the load of the image the first time it's loaded, but normally images shouldn't take too long no matter the size. Smaller is always better through! As for the actual icon SIZE (width/length) depends on how big your buttons are :) if they are the standard button sizes (you haven't changed the button sizes in your control panel) try re-sizing that image to 100x100 and test it out!
