Does any one know where I can host an image to use in my signature? 😕

If you have AOL, then enter FTP in the address bar. You can also get an account at an FTP site (i.e. 35MB.com and upload the image with a program like WS_FTP (you can get it at downloads.com, I'm too lazy to find a link). I have an account on 35mb.com

will the images show in the forums on 35mb.com?

The Savior 11 Mar 2003, 19:30

The image should show on any forums anywhere, so long as images are enabled.

anywhere else 35megs.com is no longer taking apps i need some image host please

Try angelfire, and use the http://invis.free.anonymizer.com in your image code when you post it. Don't upload images at a dramatic pace though, as they'll probably get supicious.

The Savior 14 Mar 2003, 01:57

Personally, I find the anonymizer to be slow and cumbersome. I've found that if you rename the file .txt instead of .jpg or whatever, most hosts will allow direct linking.

Yeah, that .txt trick works...don't ask why, but probably it's because people may underestimate .txt capibilities and don't realize that it can also display images.

That, and the fact that it would be plain silly to disallow remote linking to txt files.

I posted that because putting it in your image code(when you type the image's address, put the address behind it) will display it for most hosts(yes, it isn't allowed, but who'd know?). It's basically like masking your image from hosts that don't allow it.

The Savior 14 Mar 2003, 02:43

Yes, but their server is laggy, making pages take ages to load. Granted, that doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough to be irritating.

use netfirms www.netfirms.com or 150megs.com they used to work

Trunks 14 Mar 2003, 02:52

Blonde799 14 Mar 2003, 02:55

WWW.LIVEGATE.COM

theres a small trick to logging in that they said they are fixing...

to login, just enter username and pass, then go to uploads, then just click submit... i dont know why they make it stupid like that... but you get 40mb and they allow hotlinking... the setup is sorta liek geocities, except NO POPUPS...
