Ok so I was trying to get an alliance logo and I have tried many different images.. tried using Img and tried putting just the url in and nothing is working... is this a bug? or am i just doing something really wrong?

If you could tell me what exactly you have been trying and what problems you encountered, it would be helpful.

I was trying to put in my chosen image as my alliance logo and it wouldn't load on the alliance overview screen

That's what you also said in your first post; it does not explain anything at all.

From what i see, other alliances in Generals have no issues so there is no bug. I will only tell that perhaps the image you are trying to link cannot be linked. For 100% success use a photo sharing website like photobucket or imagshack.
