Well that failed miserably for me, any tips or hints about what I may have done wrong? I put this URL (http://steemimg.com/image/WhzQT) into the profile picture URL box exactly as shown above and get what you see next to this post. I then tried putting 
into said box and nothing changed.
When I put that url on it's own line you see what I get, am I missing a step somewhere here or on steemimg.com?
Is it not public? Protected in some other way? or just not fully uploaded ready for public viewing?
Sorry, still basically a steem noob, haven't had much time to work with it since signing up.

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
