I am not an expert on this so I am more likely to be wrong than right...

I think you need to use a static html page on a different server. Dont know about Geocities but Yahoo email pages assign dynamic image names so your image name will work that instant only and not later. Or sometimes some sites use special filters to block other sites from accessing images on their site. Could be Geocities is doing that when you refresh the page on the Axiom site.

The right click may be working because of your browser cache I think.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, I tried a few different things but they did not work either. I will have to try and post them to my ISP's server, I know they give me web space so I will have to look up all the info. Thanks again for your help

Modock:

Geocities does not let you link .gif and .jpg from a "outside" website.

Change your filename to .txt or .abc or something, THEN link it like a regular image, and that should work.

You can buy me a beer later

modock, the picture will show even better if you trim it exactly to 65x75 pixels, so that it won't look "stamped" slightly.

I have a moral opposition to sigs, smileys and avatars. I prefer my fora boring old text only as everything else is just a distraction from the content in my opinion. That said, this reminded me to change my profile.

Uh, you better change it again.
