Anything else ya wanna know?

Gromitspapa · 01-23-2005, 12:38 AM

The [ URL= was working at another bb, and I don't use this stuff outside of one, so I was curious.

I've got another question... Any suggestions for cheap webhosting where I can post videos, like .wmv files?

I appreciate the help!

Dont you get webspace from your internet provider? That's about as cheap as it gets since you're already paying for it ...

Gromitspapa · 01-23-2005, 10:48 AM

Dunno. Does comcast give you that? I know I get a lot of space for my web-based e-mail...

We don't need no steekin' avatars ...

And don't link directly to other people's bandwith.

We discussed avatars.

Or just don't give a rat's ass...

I was not pushing or suggesting avatars for the cellar. I like the cellar the way it is, it is a fun interesting place to come to. I was just asking a general question on how to use them for other forums....chill

The URL is the http://www.something.com/picture.jpg
It's an address on the internets that "points" to your picture, or document.

Ask somebody on the board what the SIZE of the avatar has to be. Some of them have limits on size. If they do, you'll have to reduce the size to meet the limits.

Then just put the URL of the image, and you're there.

I got a couple more questions:

- My comcast account has my name on it. If I host images there, won't my name appear in the image url? (I want it to be anonymous).

- How do you generate characters with accents, umlauts, tildes?

Thanks!
