Hi Guys,
Somethings wrong here.
I have made a new banner using Photoshop.
Its 800 X 100 pix and within the memory size required by Auran for the signature.

I can't download it from my photo storage because the URL is too long, so I tried Image Shack.
The problem is: When I upload it to Image shack and then downloads it to Auran, a size reduction takes place, I'm left with a banner 150 X 25 pix, which can't be seen properly.

Also I'm looking for a 'Free Web Storage' facility where I can start my own Web-Page. I have one with Windows Live, but its not all that good.

Any help with the above greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Pete.

Hello Pete,

For a free web page try this
http://geocities.yahoo.com/

Simply is the best I've come across !!!!

Also, for your banner change the URL ... you said it's too large then rename it and give it a number or letter for example, ABC ... name it like that and it will cut the URL greatly. This is one solution to get around at Auran's since they have a require ... the short the words the more space.

I stop using image shark a while back .... just double check you re using the right link ....

If all things fell mail to me and I'll test out for you, sir!!

When you upload to imageshack, and it takes you to the page with all the urls you need, take a look at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the advanced options link, and it will show you the direct url to the image.

Try using that one in the forums.
It should work.

Thanks All,

I'm going to step back for a little while before I try again. It was a spur of the moment thing and something I wanted to try in the quite moments.

Ishie..... Thanks for the link good Buddie. I've bookmarked it for later reference. Cheers.

Smiley.... Notes copied to my notebook. BTW. This is the best Forum ever. Cheers mate.

Last but not Least: Lorin....... Thanks, Don't worry my friend. If I succeed you'll see my banner up in lights Smile

. If not I'll be crying on your shoulders. Crying or Very sad

Cheers All
Pete

You are welcome Pete,

BTW Being the best forum, always means to me hanging around with the right folks. I've made so many people at Auran's during the years, and to be honest, 98% are just back stabbers. It's like, sometimes, you built a small relationship with them, and it's like, later on, like they never met you. I sometime question the insanity of the people on the net. One day they pal you on the back, the next they're sticking a butcher knife in your spine. Go figure... Many have seen it recently, with Alberte, getting this treatment. But, however, they are great people, and you guys are a few that I am glad to know!!!
