Memnoch 02-24-2001 06:31 AM

I'm trying to work out why images that are hosted by Geocities don't seem to be working -= here or on other boards. I went to BGDungeon and TeamBG and still nada. Can someone help me out by telling me if they see the following images below:

Image A.

Image B.

As well as the gif in my signature?

WOLFGIR 02-24-2001 06:31 AM

Noe not a single one of them I´m afraid...

Memnoch 02-24-2001 06:34 AM

Not even the sig?

I thought you mightn't be able to see A or B but I thought maybe you'd see the sig. Wolfie, could you go to this link, then reopen this post and see if you can see my sig after doing that.

WOLFGIR 02-24-2001 07:03 AM

I did memny but there was a not available page there...

Tobbin_OHF 02-24-2001 07:03 AM

I am able to see your signature, but can't see A or B.
When I try to load them up, I am getting a 404 error.
I am on a LAN connection right now though, so that may
have something to do with it.

Memnoch 02-24-2001 07:08 AM

This Geocities stuffup is getting to be a joke. Wolfie there should be a walking genie gif in that link i put down. I originally couldn't see my sig, then i physically went to the URL where i had the image stored, opened in, then all of a sudden i could see my sig. I'm betting that if i go to the URL for image A, you guys will be able to see. I'm just doing it now.

Okay, just opened the stupid thing. Can anyone see Image A now? If my theory is right you should be able to see A but not B.

Correct, or is my hypothesis flawed yet again?
PS Tobbin, isn't it 7 am where you are?

Ramon 02-24-2001 07:08 AM

Hi Memnoch,

I did as instructed and can now see your signature.

So long,

Ramon

WOLFGIR 02-24-2001 07:12 AM

Hmm, well I can´t see you sig gif yet. Hmm, strange, what is it with Geocities that has made it like this then??

Tobbin_OHF 02-24-2001 08:52 AM

When you asked that question, I think it was, it's almost 8:45 AM here now.
I still don't see A or B, but I do see the genie. When I tried to load the
pics manually, it is coming up with a 404 error. File not found.

Hmmmmm. And you guys still don't see the pic I put up for Ladyzekke yet either
in Wolfgir's thread for his webpage? Man, Geocities sucks. LOL. I like the
page builder they have though. Man, was that easy.

Cloudbringer 02-24-2001 09:22 AM

Memny: See your sig fine, but neither A nor B is there- just the placeholders with the little red x's. Has geocities got anything to say about this?

Memnoch 02-24-2001 09:34 AM

Unfortunately there's no Geocities helpdesk to call kind of reminds me of our IT department at work actually.

Cloudbringer 02-24-2001 09:36 AM

Great! Sheesh, not even a help forum? Even ATT has that! I am considering doing dsl, though so I can't explore the website possiblities with ATT since I may be dumping it soon.

Cloudy

WOLFGIR 02-24-2001 09:37 AM

LOL maybe they should call themselves "genosites", well i could upload your pic if you mail it to me.

Hellfire 02-24-2001 09:38 AM

hey Memnoch i am not seeing any of your stuff and could you do me a favor and do a link for me on the war front

Moridin 02-24-2001 09:42 AM

Just testing a pic from geocities that I know was working earlier in the week


Memnoch 02-24-2001 09:46 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Your pic isn't working either Moridin

Sorry, I'm just happy that I'm not the only one who's getting stuffed around by this

I'm more pissed off about the fact that I can't upload CloudDazzler's pic than my missing sig. Everyone knows what my sig looks like anyway

WOLFGIR 02-24-2001 09:55 AM

U can mail it to me Memnoch..

Cloudbringer 02-24-2001 10:01 AM

CloudDazzler?! My goodness...uh have you been drinking, Memny, or is it just lack of sleep?! In an awfully big hurry to post those....I wonder if I'll find captions added? LOL!

Cloudy

PS- thanks for the chuckle, I needed one just now. I may need some more if I don't get my 3-way multi game tonight..sniffle.

Gray Mage 02-24-2001 01:21 PM

Moved my sig pic just testing

Gray Mage 02-24-2001 01:23 PM

yeah that worked

BLACK KNIGHT 02-24-2001 01:24 PM

FYI, Memnoch, you sig is working, but other two aren't. Gray Mage, yours is not working either. Is mine?

BK

Cloudbringer 02-24-2001 01:26 PM

Gray Mage, did you have your sig files on another site? They were visible earlier to day. Geocities is really messed up, I guess. I am glad I don't use the old account I opened there anymore.

Cloudbringer

BLACK KNIGHT 02-24-2001 01:26 PM

Gray Mage, it is now working . . . .weird . . . Oh well.

BK

Gray Mage 02-24-2001 01:27 PM

BK: yours is not working, but I fixed mine I'll have to work on it some more. I moved it back to where it was

Melusine 02-24-2001 01:28 PM

Sheesh I hope this gets sorted out soon...I want my sexy elf pic back!!
BTW can anyone see my sig picture? (I can't)

Cloudbringer 02-24-2001 01:28 PM

I see yours GM, but not yours BK. This is getting to be a regular 'hide and seek' game!

StormCloud

Gray Mage 02-24-2001 01:30 PM

I miss yours too, Melusine. By the way nice to meet you.

Cloudbringer 02-24-2001 01:31 PM

BK email me at ah610(a)cas.albany.edu if you got the pics (cc my home addy too, if you don't mind) Going back to my office now.

Cloudy

Cloudbringer 02-25-2001 07:02 AM

Whoa, Memnoch! Nice new sig! And we can see it, too. That's the amazing part!


CloudFlower

Memnoch 02-25-2001 07:19 AM

OK everyone who I'm hosting at Geocities. I've created an Angelfire account and pissed Geocities off since they no longer allow images to be stored there for use elsewhere. I know that I'm hosting Mel and BK - I can't remember if I'm hosting Ertai? As soon as I finish moving all my stuff to angelfire I'll post the links here!

If I'm hosting anyone else, let me know and I'll tell you the new URL. Man Geocities suck!

Memnoch 02-25-2001 07:34 AM

OK mel and BK - your new URLs for gif sigs are:

Melusine here
BK here

That's it I think!

Tobbin_OHF 02-25-2001 07:41 AM

Melusine's is coming up empty.

I guess I should have actually read the terms of service with Geocities.
I just got a webpage there so that I could put some pics and host the
newsletter. AAAAAAAAAAAAaaRRRRRRRGggggggggggGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Back to the scratch.

RAISTLIN 02-25-2001 07:54 AM

Nice new gif memnoch. Where did you find it? The only downside to angelfire is it appears to give you less space than geocities. geo gives you 500meg right? angelfire gives you 50meg

Memnoch 02-25-2001 08:00 AM

I can't actually remember the site, I did a search on fantasy gifs some time back but i got hooked on the genie from BG2. I had to crop and resize this one as it was a bit big (about 15% bigger than it is now).

Wolf, before i forget thanks for the offer but as you can see i've sorted it out.

Tobbin, with GIF Construction set, how do you make the background of the GIF transparent? I want to get rid of the black background which looks cheezy.

Memnoch 02-25-2001 08:20 AM

Tobbin, don't worry about it, I've worked it out.

Tobbin_OHF 02-25-2001 08:21 AM

*THIS SPACE FOR RENT*
I answer you, then noticed you had it figured out already.

Boy, modifying a message sucks.

GIF CONSTRUCTION SET is a pretty cool program, NO?

Memnoch 02-25-2001 08:31 AM

That's ok Tobes, I notice that you only had to modify it 3 times - that's three more than most people right? (j/k)

(j/k) for the uninitiated stands for just kidding!

It kicks ass all over GIF Animator.

Tobbin_OHF 02-25-2001 08:37 AM

I don't know what was wrong with the modify option.
S'weird, it used to just change to what you type in,
but now when I click it, it will put in the 1st
message, no matter what. I think it has to do with
my computer though and maybe how I have cookies set
up. I have to reload pages when I go back to them
now, like when I came here. Hey, a message that's not
too long. OMG, I lost my Lao status. Don't write as
long as Minsc anymore. LOL. Been awhile, huh?

Hesperex 02-25-2001 09:03 AM

If someone has already mentioned this then I apolagise but my imagies are hosted by freenetname, and I to have been haveing image problems the past week or so. Any ideas?

Tobbin_OHF 02-25-2001 09:05 AM

There's not really much that you can do except to make a new homepage with
one that seems to be working. Angelfire seems pretty stable right now.
You could try using that. If not, I think Memnoch is asking Ziroc about
putting the GIF files in the image section on the board. If they do that,
everything will work for the best. Cross your fingers, non?
