I think I know why none of our Geocities images are showing on the board. I found the following statement on the help pages:
Why won't my files load when I try to link to them outside of GeoCities? Unfortunately, this is not allowed. We've made changes to our system that prohibit certain files from loading outside of our domain (geocities.com). This means that some of the files stored in your Yahoo! GeoCities directory can't be referenced directly from links outside of geocities.com. However, these files will remain accessible from any geocities.com web page. This change ensures that our resources are supporting visitors to Yahoo! GeoCities web pages and providing them with the best possible experience. Please note: In compliance with our Yahoo! GeoCities Terms of Service (Section 5), we do not allow our members to use Yahoo! GeoCities primarily to store files for exclusive use at another site. Any violation of our Terms of Service may result in removal of your account. If you want to link to files in your Yahoo! GeoCities directory from outside of our domain, you can bypass this limitation by linking to the entire HTML page rather than to specific images or other files within the page. If all of the above apply and you wish to further inquire about your account status, please contact us by filling out our feedback form It seems this is a recent change. Looks like we will have to store them somewhere else. If you have Microsoft Messenger/Hotmail, you may be aware you can store photos with them fo everyone to access. This will at least allow us to see pictures of each other. I am not sure it would work with animated giffs, but I will have a play around on my next day off. In the meantime to those who have sent me photographs, I will upload them to MSN and post a link soon. Memnoch, would it be possible for Ziroc to add a page to allow uploads of gifs to the board? If so, could you E-mail him as you know him better than I do and it might take a fair bit of work on his behalf. |

angel fire is not currently giving me the same problems. I may suggest that those who have trouble set up a page there. It is free and takes all of ten minutes to do and they give you 50mg of space which is more than ample for the task
Oh and ............ BUMP |

Further to my other post about gifs, if anyone who has a geocity image wants me to host it for them, please send an e-mail with it attached. However it's easy to set up an angelfire site here
