I recently found a icon of Cousin Eddie from the National Lampoon movies which I would like to use for my icon. On Theforce.net Jedi Council they had a picture of him for the holidays. I copied the URL and tried to use that picture here, however nothing happened. The picture came up but it didn't change.

Can any of you help me out here with this. Thank you.

Sounds like you made the common mistake of pasting the link in the correct place, but then forgetting to press "update profile" on the profile screen.

Actually Torch, sometimes that happens.
I had it happen to me, too. I thought at first that I didn't hit the update button, so I tried a couple more times and it kept coming up blank.
Not sure what the deal is. Maybe it's just some sites block the linking or something.

The deal is that for some reason it (UBB) will reject images when the extensions are capitalized. (ie. yourpic.JPG; yourpic.GIF)

So in this case I suggest saving the picture to your HD and hosting it at a reliable hosting site. (ie. rancho web)

I think you can get around that by simply retyping the extension in lower case letters too.
