Found this on another forum.

This is a trick that works with GeoCities and other free hosting sites. As most of you know, they dont allow direct linking to images.

This can be bypassed if you change the extension from, say, GIF or JPG to TXT and then pasting the url into the post with the regular IMG tags around it.

That way the image should show.

Considering that the titlebar.txt doesn't seem to exist on the server..... I wonder why it's not working. :p

on angelfire you used to be able to turn it into a .html file but now they got that fixed as well.  :(
It's a fact.  Stupid people have stupid children.  If you are stupid, don't have sex.  If you insist on having sex.  Have sex with animals.  If you have sex with an animal.  Make sure the animal is smarter than you are.  Just encase of some biological fluke you and the animal have offspring, they won't be as stupid as you are.   One more thing.  Don't assume the animal is protected.  If the animal has a condom, or if female some interuterian device, insist they wear it.  Help stop this mindless mindlessness.  Keep your stupidty to yourself.  This message was brought to you by the Committee of Concerned Citizens that are Smarter than You are.

It generally (about 85% of the time) works nicely for me. Practically all non NTV images I post are hosted on geocities and I use this trick.
