That is because the URL you linked to is returning a 404, plus it has an .ico extension which likely won’t work.

Are you updating both the icon and image fields with the URL?
The icon is used on the Badges page, the image is only used on the user’s User Card (IIRC)

You need to do the icon too, the field above the one you already filled out. The icon is what is used for the Badges page, the image is only used on the User Card
