Geoshitties, err, Geocities doesn't allow direct linking of images from one of their hosted sites. I read there was a way to circumvent this measure but I don't remember what it was. I'll check up on that.

[Edit: Well wait a minute now, sometimes it is working for me and sometimes its just a white box with the red X in it. Weird. /Edit]

Well dmonik... you answeewered your question in your own post... it doesn't work because it's stupid...

Also because if I follow that link I cant see the picture... probably you linked it to your harddrive instead of getting it hosted by geocities?

 

Ioo, I know you think I'm a moron.. but I'm not that dumb

 

Also, do you know of any better hosts that I could use for that then?

 

Create a new thread called "Milo Please Help" and point it at this one by cutting and pasting the URL into the post body.

Milo knows a lot about sigs, hosting, etc.

I'm not so knowledgeable and have never used geocities, but could it be a max connections thing or bandwidth throttling? That might explain why it is sometimes visible and other times not.

Either way, you're probably gonna be looking for a new host. Ask Milhouse ... um ... Milo.

 

... Or you could just e-mail it to me ( r.arts@student.utwente.nl ) and I'll upload it to the Terra Arcanum server. If it's not too big, that is.

 

Ok that would be great calis

 

alright, http://www.terra-arcanum.com/sigs/Dmonik1.gif
If anyone else has trouble with this, lemme know...

 

I don't think you're a moron, got nothing against you, I just like poking fun at easily confused people.

On the other hand

Sure you aren't.

 

It was worth it - that's a cool sig :smile:

 

Looks aweful on red background though... or whatever color it is, which is not black. :smile:

 

Netfirms and Sphosting allows hot linking. Sphosting limits hot linking for JPEG files. There are a few others.

 

Thank you very much sheriff

 

Oops, sorry I missed this. I haven't been around lately.

If anyone's still interested, you can get around the stupid Geocities blocking by renaming your file so it has a .txt extension rather than .gif or .jpg.

It doesn't work for long, though. They eventually catch on.

EDIT - Just for the sake of clarity, let me add that you still have to use the IMG tags. Just enter in the newly renamed file with a .txt extension in between the IMG tags, and it should work.

Note that I don't do this, I use the space my ISP gives me. I've read that it works, though.

See - I told you he was a good person to ask! Was I right, or was I right?

Wellll, okay, he did bugger off for a long stint and have to be severely prompted upon return, but that doesn't make him a complete fuckwit, right?
