change the .com (or whatever it is) at the end of your link to .txt, and it'll actually link to it(with pictures at least).

Don't you mean change the jpg or GIF extension to .txt to view linked images?

That's what I meant. Yeah,I dont link from geocities, so I was a bit confused. Just heard on other forum about that.

Yea, like with my IMAGE SIG, I use geocities, but if you look at the file properties of my IMAGE SIGs, they are .TXT files, but as everyone can see, the image is appearing. Thanks to those who discovered that little flaw in the YAHOO! Geocities REMOTE LINKING System.

but if too many view it at once, it goes offline for an hour :(

actually, it shouldn't be a problem if people don't copy and paste it into their address bar since it should show up on almost every forum. So, as long as people just look at it without copying and pasting the link into the address bar, it shouldn't tally up the bandwidth to cause it to go offline.

Maybe so...but some people can't afford to pay for it.
Anyway...I've helped to host people's sigs/avatars in the past, and I'll do so in the future. :)
