Dear Jaguar and all.
Guys, please understand, I take no responsibility if you set your avar to some external link and it's not working. Forum's avatar routine is obviously working fine. The external server you specified can be down, can have very slow connection with our server so on so on...
To avoid this kind of problems I would strongly recommend those who decided to have custom avatar to upload into server. Go to your profile page, then go to avatar popup and see...

I've set your avatar to hay.am's logo in order to let you know that external links in avatar routine are working well and I left you a message about it in appropriate topic(that topic does not exist anymore).
