The website is pretty busy the last couple days. Is it because of the new toys and new forum version?

[john]

[folsomBlondie]

Every time I tried to change the signature image it gave me this error message:

Is there any way that we can use a JPG saved on our computer and not a URL to create a signature. I have looked but dont see this as an option

Sorry, no. Try doing a google search for your image, then you can steal the url

Oooo... owww... John. That's very bad Net practice. :-( A lot of us webmasters spend money on bandwidth and when people link to our images directly, it costs us, with nothing in return.

I know, I know, bad netiquette... but people do it to me all the time!
(You should see what I do when I check my logs)

OK I think there's a website called ImageDump.com (I think) where you can upload the image, it will put a little logo on it but that's all.

John, why is that ?
a Signature is more than a URL ( for some of us) and allowing one from our own saved files would allow for home pics to be used as well with are more personal.

Technical limitations of the software don't allow it. Try photodump.com to upload your photo, see if that works.

fyi, I'm playing with the navigation a bit. Please bear with me!
