Custom Background not working?

When I paste the custom background into the URL box, I get an error: Error Max Length.

Is there any way to resolve this?

lichess1.org/assets/lifat/background/gallery/bg13.webp?mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Works for me and that's a pretty long one.

Maybe it's because that's a Lichess background. I have tried with multiple other ones but they did not work.

post one here

Here's one: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fkajabi-storefronts-production.kajabi-cdn.com%2Fkajabi-storefronts-production%2Fblogs%2F11331%2Fimages%2FjUinprH9TVqW6MFyD8ES_Ripple_Blog_Size.png&tbnid=Lhdg_UXLQ4RJpM&vet=12ahUKEwiJybKBvuyEAxV2T6QEHefNBcQQMygBegQIARBn..i&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsavvy.directorprep.com%2Fblog%2Fthe-ripple-effect&docid=Z3DrGwJaJqaplM&w=1280&h=720&q=rippling%20water&safe=active&client=safari&ved=2ahUKEwiJybKBvuyEAxV2T6QEHefNBcQQMygBegQIARBn

This is not a URL for an image, but for a google search result page that contains images. The actual image URL is:
kajabi-storefronts-production.kajabi-cdn.com/kajabi-storefronts-production/blogs/11331/images/jUinprH9TVqW6MFyD8ES_Ripple_Blog_Size.png
And that works just fine.

Another thing is that google, imgur, etc like to insert tracking layers between users and the actual data in most URLs. We don't bother if it's not a direct link. Therefore you want your browser's right click on image -> "Copy Image Link" rather than right click -> "Copy Link."

I'll try that, thanks.

Thank you! I'll know that for future reference!

It doesn't work for me. It says: Error, URL must use https.

I've also tried to insert https into the link, but it doesn't work.

Apparently Lichess removes the "https://" from URLs in forum messages. It is there though if you use your browsers copy link function. If you add it manually type (without the quotes) "https://" in front of the URL I posted.
