Like Young Twig said, could be lightened up a bit (electric green?) By the way, copied and pasted shortcut.. worked fine.. and then, the picture showed up in the origional post in this thread, replacing the little box with the X in it.

;)You know I don't get involved in browser squabbles. I'm just making an observation :cool: .

By the way, it's Dec. 23 ... so where's the snow? :D

There is snow at my place :D. But it'll be gone by tomorrow. that's what you get by living in a temperate climate influenced by the gulfstream :(

This is brinkster being dumb... not IE being dumb. If anything this makes Mozilla dumb for not complying.

No, it makes Mozilla smart for learning how to cheat...
Actually, by default that's what comes up in Mozilla...
However, I've modified my Firebird not to send any referrer, like all other browsers would (someone on a Mozilla Forum told me how to do it)...
It's not that I'm not complying, I'm just tricking Brinkster...
Flexibility, the beauty of Firebird...

Lol There are 3 reoccurring issues in many threads: browser wars, how much winamp sucks, and why we cant post a message shorter than 10 characters :D Nonetheless, we must all agree that the QCD forum is one of a kind :cool:

Are you sure your just not reading the same thread over and over.:D
No ,I know what you mean,we are all smart enough to use QCD we should all be smart enough to come up with something besides the 3 reoccuring issues.

It used to be about 36 posts per day, but I took a month long vacation...
I'll be making my return next week...

Why are you so obsesed with browser wars? :eek:
Why not?
I'm not really obsessed with them, I just love Firebird...

angelfire.com is kinda silly as well.
freewebs.com also doesn't let you link to images... but they're better than angelfire.
Thankfully, I've gotten to use a real website and not had to deal with those problems... but not everyone can do that. :(

didnt really tried it but decided that i dont like it ;)

Young Twig

12-30-2003, 05:37 PM

There's also some place where you get free hosting. I think you need a domain though... :(
www.doteasy.com

Does Brinkster allow PHP?

btw, i use www.xstreamhost.com 3 bucks a month gets you 200 megs and 4 gigs bandwith 50 pop3 emails, ftp, unlimited subdomains, SSI, PHP, etc. but, yeah... that's $3/month.

Young Twig

Yeah, but you can't use them outside of angelfire. you can provide a link to the images, but you can't actually use an <img> tag outside of angelfire.

I know this works with Geocities. Just rename your pictures to have a .txt extension and it'll allow hotlinking.
