Dave:

A lot of sites don't allow you to link to images on their servers. Geocities is one. I think yahoo does this too.

Also, you have to link to a text file instead of using an image code. Nothing will come up.

Actually this is a trick someone here on the forum showed me. They have their image files stored at geocities and they change the file extension to .txt to "fool" geocities and it still comes up as an image when you link to it. A neat trick... however it doesn't seem to work completely with my topcities account. I could only see them with my IE 6, and not 5. But, I've found a free file hosting site. So, all is cool.

Thanks

Weird.. well, this point is moot now, but here's Morgan Jolley's sig pic which is done with the file extension trick:



It's hosted over at geocities.

Hmmmm Cool trick. I have to test that trick with my host site.

Edit: It worked. I'll save the world from having to see my demonic kitty.
