Hello Diz, let me be the first to welcome you to Teh GeEkeRy!

This forum uses something called BBcode. Simple code that allows you to put things such as images, lists, url's..bla bla bla

To make a picture, just put around the url to the picture. You can ask any one of us to host it for you if you are having trouble with that.

If the little red X box is the image you were aiming for, then good job. Otherwise, one of us will host that image for you.

I just see a red X.

I don't know about any content restrictions, but the size limitis 65x65 pixels.  I have a bunch of avatars that I could host on my webspace, but I'll have to get there later this week.  I'm down at my parents house right now helping them out with their house.  I'll post a link to 'em later.

I'll have to look around to find it again.  It was in the 'Anarchy' forum, I think.  I read it and thought it was fitting, so I started using it in my sig.  I thought the pic looked a little bland without some comment with it.

Edit:
Yup... after a little searching I finally found it.  It's in the "KILL!" thread.

All finished!  If you want an avatar, just go Here.  There are a ton of 'em up there, so if you're on a slow connection it will take a while to load.

Comments are always welcome.

Edit:
Just open up the properties for the URL.

Well... there are a lot of 'em there, that's all I know.  It's still nowhere near the amount of avatars over at HN, but it's enough.

I've just completed one for those of you who don't have the bandwidth enough to view all those pics in a short time.  It's just a bunch of links to pics.  Here it is...

Wow... only that long, huh?

Actually my main objective there was to see how fast I could actually get that page up and working.  I used a combination of DOS commands, a text editor, and Excel to get that page up in about 5 minutes.  Not bad.

[/i]I was going to ask you how you put that together, but stopped myself, because I already had a pretty good idea.

And now I see I was right.  :D
