My siggy doesn't feel well and will only show it's host's pic... Is it just shy? sick? generally disgusted with the filthy internet world around it?

A lot of free hosting places will do that, they don't like to allow direct linking of images, and so they put a nice stupid picture in its place. I don't know of a workaround, short of getting a better image host. Anyone else have a better solution?

I hear tell that if you name the file (ex)signature.txt that it will bypass the image leeching bandwidth whoring you're doing right now.

I remember this as being a real old trick - I'm not sure they've found a workaround or anything.  Plus it violates their TOS, or something like that.


If you ask nicely, I'm sure LB or Hunz would host it for you :)

The error returned was:

You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif (http://www.domain.com/picture.gif), an invalid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif (http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif)

Bleh, the forum won't allow it...

Here's the file if someone wants to host it for me <3
