Wasn't that title so not misleading?

Really, I'm not kidding. Just remember to rename the file to have a .txt extension. It'll show up in all browsers I've used; Mozilla, Pheonix, IE, Opera.

If not, I'll host it for you for free (I have server space on a paid account, so it'll always be up). Just post the pic here and I'll upload it in 10 seconds and I'll give you the url.:)

Homestead still works for me, and I get it free.

And you can outside link

Well I have a question about the geocities option. I tried making it a .txt extension and according to geocities I'm not allowed that file type. So what am I doing wrong in getting it up?

Did you upload it as a GIF/JPG BEFORE you changed the file extension? You have to use geocities' own file name editor to get it to work. Like upload Sig.jpg, then change the name in geocities to Sig.txt. THEN link it.

Umm this is confusing me. I just upload on geocities as a jpg and then I get lost from there as to what I am supposed to do because I don't see anyway to rename the extension.

<font color=#AFEEEE>Boomspeed.com and zeetec.net I think are free hosts.

For the geocities thing, you just tick the file, and click on rename and change the file extention so it becomes image.txt

haha "tick"

That is so un-American and therefore cute.

I had Boomspeed before, but it keeps randomly deleting my accounts. =(

And thanks for the offer, Yamaha, but I need to host many, many pictures. =) I think I'll need my own account to do that.

I suppose I will try zeetec.net and freewebs.com *nods at Tammy and Blue Man*

Boomspeed always deletes accounts that break the T.O.S so beh, they suck.

I recommend http://www.picturehost.co.uk though. You don't have to register and just upload stuff straight away. The crap thing is that you have no file manager of any sort so you don't know what you've uploaded and what you haven't. I guess it's good for just avatars and sigs.
