try renaming your picture you're trying to link to from *whatever*.JPG to *whatever*.TXT

and try linking to the '.TXT' file...

I could post something controversial and exciting, but it'd probably be locked

Do it anyway. There are no consequences in this simulated environment.

ignore what the celestial one said :)

rename them back to normal .JPGs, and give us the URL to them (don't try putting the IMG tags on)
we'll see if they work

Secret Service Man 1: What the hell is this? It's gibberish!

Secret Service Man 2: No. Look closer.

Secret Service Man 1: My God, it's a plot to kill the President! And...it's being engineered by...an internet Bulletin Board! The board, not the people!

Secret Service Man 2: You bet your ass, Dave.

It doesn't work with a link like that becaues there's a space between "_Secure/" and "0MgBpZTIR2qV..."

so that link will not work

If you use html, it will



[edit] ok, so it won't...url is probably too long [/edit]
