fighters of destiny Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 could someone tell me what im doing wrong to try and find this sorry, but you'll have to go to quote to find out TO ALL NEWBIES: Help me help you. It REALLY helps if you READ the help thread. Please, I put a lot of work into it. All your answers are in the very first post. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. That's what it's there for. Now, f.o.d., just like the person right above your post, your problem lies here: [img=http://www.GEOCITIES.com/gaiamaster2003/psycho.JPG] As I've stated, Geocities requires you to change the file extention from a JPG to a TXT. Change the file extention, upload it to your account and input it as such: [img=http://www.geocities.com/gaiamaster2003/psycho.TXT] Try again here, and I'll help you out if you have any other problems. still have a problem, it place the jpg in their automatically, so id have to type .txt.jpg which i think is kind of rediculous, but if you say so ill have him try it out, one more thing, does it have to be capitalized you put a capital in for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endblink Posted January 25, 2003 Author Share Posted January 25, 2003 still have a problem, it place the jpg in their automatically, so id have to type .txt.jpg which i think is kind of rediculous, but if you say so ill have him try it out, one more thing, does it have to be capitalized you put a capital in for everyoneNo.The capitalization is simply for me to point out the error. Okay, the problem now is that you have a new version of Windows. When the file is on your computer, is recognizes the ".jpg" extension and hides it. Hence, when you rename it, you have the "psycho.txt.jpg". It's now simply calling the jpg "psycho.txt" Here's what you need to do: -Open the folder with the file you wish to change -Click on "Tools" in the Menu bar (NOTE: I'm being told Windows XP is "Tools", earlier versions of Windows might either be "Folder" or "View") -Click "Folder Options" -Select the "View" tab -Under "Files and Folders", find an option that's called "Hide extentions for known file types". -DE-SELECT it. (If there's a check in the box, remove it.) -You should now be able to see your file extentions and be able to change them. -To go back to your original setting, go back and RE-SELECT "Hide extentions for known file types".

You had it. It doesn't matter how it looks on your computer when you open it. The bottom line is, the file IS a JPG which you've renamed to a TXT file for the sole purpose of using it on geocities. Yes, when you rename the jpg as a txt file, it'll open Notepad and show you code. That's SUPPOSED to happen. Upload the renamed file to your geocities account and try linking it to a post. HERE, we'll be able to see the image as an image even though it's a TXT file. Try it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 If you don't believe it, just right clic any picture shown here, see if its a .txt... if its not... well, then use the same server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endblink Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Is this too big? Excellent. You got it too work!For a sig? It's slightly larger than mine and I feel mine's pushing it. You can try it out, see what people say. If you can bring it down a bit, the better, but if that's what you want, go for it. The only way to find out is to "test drive" it. Glad I could help!
