I'm trying to make a skybox for a custom map, but for some reason the image for the top won't work, and just shows up as the gold/black thing, as you can see here:

I've tried reuploading the image three times in case the original link was faulty somehow, but each time it didn't work. I double checked the image dimensions, it's a power of 2, and I scaled it down to 256x256. I checked the file size, and it's under 200KB. I check the link, and the image is the only thing on the page, as far as I can tell. I can see no reason for it to not work, yet it doesn't.

Here's the link I'm currently using:

And so you can see I put it in properly:

So could any of you please help me figure out what's wrong?

(It's not a great top for the skybox, but right now I want a proof of concept for my method of creating it before I clean it up to a more respectable image.)
(On a slightly different topic, another skybox I made from a picture I took myself works great, except for the top, which comes out looking very pink (but not the pink mesh I've seen others have problems with. Any ideas what's going on there?)

If your skin is Gold & Black/Transparent like so:

It occurred because the image either exceeds 1024px or 200kbs

How to Fix:

Spoiler:
1) reopen in your program of choice, I will use paint in this example again
    Image
2) Shrink it
    Image
3) Save it
    Image
4) If it still exceeds 200kb, run it through TinyPng until it doesn't
    Image
5) You're done, GJ!


Perhaps that`ll help. I know this for player skins, but I believe the same things apply for skyboxes. Let me know how it goes! ^^

As it turns out, I had to rescale the base image down to 256x256 instead of using Imgur's scaling thingy. That got the top image to work, but for some reason my back image stopped working and I had to use a smaller version of it, even though it worked fine yesterday. Thanks for the help!
