Something weird in the user avatar selection settings

Even putting in the current url comes up with invalid.
Change to https comes up with cant establish size

I have pc in posts avatars etc linked to my server in a lot of places with no issues..

phpbb should still have the setting available to upload avatars and disable off site.
The trick here is to set the avatar dimensions to usable size.
ie 95 x 80 and 25kb

Same thing applies to posting pics.

Settings are in the php admin panel

Site is rate static now..gone fishing rather than breeding.
Its just used for info and will be eventually taking it down , so not worrying about certs etc.
