Title: Hmm...siggy Piccy Help

Well I put the url in the pop-up box like it asked. But I think it doesn't like me as it didn't work. All the other buttons did as they are supposed to, maybe this one is the uber evil of them. Uhh...help me oh divine people of computer knowingness!

*gets all confused and runs away*

I'm betting it's because you're hosting it from Angelfire, and they're not fond of hotlinking.

Try http://www.izerop.com for hosting images for signatures and avatars and such. It works. Most of the time. *eyes it*

Okay well I'll give it a go. Cheers. :)

[edit] "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: showfile() in /home/web/index.php on line 55" - this keeps coming up when I try to sign in. I blame the government (and IzeroP)

Marcus - January 5, 2004 04:12 PM (GMT)
Yes...it's all the government...

No, actually, Izerop's been doing server updates lately, so it can be a pain in the arse without warning a lot. Just sorta have to wait it out.

For example, right now I can't even get the index page to load. *le sigh*

Sky - January 5, 2004 04:27 PM (GMT)
I still blame the government. Are there any other sites I can host my piccies on?

Marcus - January 5, 2004 10:12 PM (GMT)
Uh. Might try Boomspeed. http://www.boomspeed.com ...I dunno what their register policy is like right now. Technically they were supposed to have deleted my account there due to my inability to provide a credit card number and prove that I'm eighteen or over.

Well, I'm not, but that's beside the point.

So, yes. You can try that. I've had a few others suggested to me, but I haven't tried them yet. So click at your own risk :heh:

http://www.hamsterhouse.com

Hamsterhouse? Hamster...WE HAVE A WINNER!

*loves hampsters*

[edit] Nope...but at least I can have a hampster webpage. I'll try Boomspeed...
[edit take 2] And Boomspeed want my credit card details...

Know what? I might have images banned in signatures, because often people like to make them obnoxiously large. I'll go check.

...*after prodding around Admin CP* I can't see anything that would ban or unban images in signatures. I'll have to wait and ask Nico about it. He's had more experience with Invision than I have.

Sky - January 6, 2004 12:36 AM (GMT)
Righto...well I'll leave the Captains to man the ship. If anyone wants to see the banner the link is there just not visible.

Marcus - January 7, 2004 12:36 AM (GMT)
Hrm. My apologies Sky, but neither of us seem to be able to figure out what the problem is... By all board settings, it should be working fine.

I'm sorry. *apologetic smile, gives Sky a cracker*

Sky - January 7, 2004 12:46 AM (GMT)
Alright then. I'll just link it for people.

Kaizan - January 13, 2004 01:58 AM (GMT)
You could try hosting your image on geocities ... they have a free account thing and you don't need to be over 18 ...

Sky - January 13, 2004 12:12 PM (GMT)
Nah Its okay. I've just linked it instead...
