Sadly this doesn't work. For your avatar the link doesn't seem to matter, however when it comes to generally posting images everything breaks. I was talking about outside URLS in general anyhow. Am I able to use an Secure Image outside of the site or do I have no choice but to use the image uploader. This is a serious problem for me because It could make commissions and other art projects I do on this site a huge hassle. Especially with the limited space I get for doing so depending on where I choose to upload.

I apologise for misinterpreting what you meant. ^-^' What I interpret from Niall's post is that Deviantart is fine for hosting images. All you need to do is manually add the https:// to any images you use on PF. That way it'll be a secure link and won't be blocked. PF's image uploader is only a suggestion due to its easy accessibility. You don't have to use it, any site that is secure is fine. Is that of any help? (If this hasn't answered your question, I'll probably let someone else step in. I don't want to cause unnecessary confusion.)
