Can't you get the image online, or
If you have the image online, put the url in your post, with [img ][ /img] tags around it. Without the extra spaces of course.

No, CW is right, Geocities doesn't let you show the pic somewhere else than on their own sites/accounts.
So you get a fancy red X.

Something similar is also the case with Angelfire...

Funny you mentioned it, x seconds later the system crashed.

I know I should close them, but I'm too lazy and besides I like being stunned over how many windows this comp can handle, as opposite to my former Mac which crashed if you tried to open ICQ while having Netscape open! LOL!

Well, thanks.

I think you're the only one who thinks it's 'nicely organized'.

I only organized the windows to make sure it all fits it.

The icons are that way themselves (I have auto-arrange enabled).

I downloaded quite alot of cracks and lots of pascal things lately. Therefore the loads of zips.


shameless plug for irrelevant thing i made:

Nooooo, you revealed me!
Initially, only alternative bands used this technique in their vids. Then Jonas Åkerlund made it mainstream by making a whole video out of it, "Ray Of Light".

You're worried about the background being a memory hog when you've got that many icons? :lo:

I assume you meant AVS not skin. Attached.

I made the AVS myself some year ago. It was inspired by a live recording of Metallica's Enter Sandman.

It's a firey wavy sort of things, with plenty of symmetry and very beat dependant.

I haven't updated it for a while.
