Re: Popular Posts Widget - What are the requirements for an image to be used

Sorry for my late reply.. the holidays happened! 

Well, in the mean time I even switched to uploading pictures with 
Photobucket hoping that would take care of it.. but now one picture isn't 
working via photobucket either in my popular post. 
I will give you some examples...

first I uploaded this image, but no thumbnail appeared in my popular posts 
list
http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/9146/c7jv.jpg

so then I uploaded the same picture via photobucket, which seems to be 
working
http://i855.photobucket.com/albums/ab120/NatasjaEPB/Beauty/c7jv_zps7dee901b.jpg

same goes for this picture uploaded with imageshack, not working in popular 
posts
http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/6306/vocj.jpg

but working with photobucket

now the picture that isn't working with photobucket either:

I hope this helps, otherwise let me know what else you need. 
Thank you so much!
