avatar from another website is flawed

[Polygon]

i just tried to link to a avatar that is located on my dads email server, the link is this:

http://email.noao.edu/~markgrandi/happy_feet_avatar_90x90.png

but when i press "submit", it says invalid url, but as you can tell, if you enter that url into a web browser, it is infact a valid url

im guessing its thinking that because it does not have a www. infront of it.

is this a known or fixable bug?

Its a secure url.

Have you tried saving it to your desktop and then uploading it straight from your computer instead of from the email server?

If it works, then it may be a bug.
If it doesn't, something may be wrong with the image itself.

yeah asyiu, thats what i did which is why i have the avatar now, so its not the image

im thinking that vorian is right, because when you click on the link i provided it automatically puts a "s" after the "http"

but when i put the new link (the https://) one, i get a database error when i try to submit it O.o
