IMAGE POSTING FOR PEOPLE USING FREE WEBSITES

Recently we've had two posters who have done everything correctly in attempting to post images from their websites.

However, the images and links will not work as the FREE websites that they are using DO NOT ALLOW LINKING FROM OUTSIDE THEIR DOMAIN.

Here's the information from geocities.com

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.

For those users you can still have your graphics show up by uploading the graphics from your computer to the space available here on thechipboard.com.

Here's the "HOW TO" page link.
