!! Linking to geocities !!

[Bolteh2]

For all those that use geocities as picture/site host..

If you want to link to the pictures/files to geocities, you have to put "?" directly behind the URL (without the "") so your old URL: http://www.geocities.com/username/file.jpg should look like -> http://www.geocities.com/username/file.jpg? (these urls probably dont exist, this is just an example)

this will make sure you will never get the "page not found" or "page currently unavailable" error when you click the link in here. (no need to copy/paste neither)

[Miki800]

thnx for the info!
ermm.. section... nvm thats good info to know!

I've heard that ***cities area closing their hosting for direct linkin
if true then will it happen with your +"?" thingy?

 

[Bolteh2]

well... that "?" thingy removes the direct linking bypass from geocities.. it makes the geocities host think that you clicked the link from the webpage, not from outside the geocities area

If you guys ever need to upload....you can always use this uploader
http://www.schlex.net/index.php *up to 5mb*

Another temporary uploader is http://www.imageshack.us
No sign up, up to 600 kb/file, but be sure to write down the url you're using.
Wurks 4 meh!

And the same goes for Angel Fire, if a pic doesnt work copy the link and put a "?" at the end and it will magically work .

You can also rename the file like:

blablabla.jpg --> blablabla.txt

It will work aswell :]
