I put the img brackets around it as directed with no spaces....why won't it work...it's even a small image!! Anyone please help!!!

 

nobody has any insight on this???

 

Is it 50x50 pixels or smaller?

I've struggled with this too.

Here's the deal guys:

you need to HOST the picture on a website, then, link to the picture, not the entire url.

Right click on mine then look at properties.

Here's the site where I have it hosted:

http://dexslexus.freeservers.com/

here's the url of *just the pic*:
http://dexslexus.freeservers.com/ima...ift_center.jpg

this is what need to be in the brackets

You'll want to capture the url link of the picture by rightclicking and copying that url, not the whole page url...

Some services won't work - like yahoo and geocities

Do a search on free web hosting, or use freeservers.com like I have

see below for help

HTH GUYS!

 

I already host it and link it like that, I have a photopoint account and have no problem displaying images on other forums....

 

Not sure what else to tell you....

I just know that it has to be in this format, referencing the individual file itself....

www.whatever.com.blah/blah/blah/image.jpg

Your references a database link...

HTH

 

BriGuy,

Cool picture!

I suspect your problem is one of two things:

1) Even though your image is hosted, where you have it hosted masks the exact name of the file. You need to put it somewhere you can right click on it, select properties and get the .JPG filename to plug into your clublexus profile.

I tried pulling up your pic with the following and it worked, try this first.

2) Second thought is that the size is still pretty big on your picture, that alone may cause it to be rejected from display...

Mine is about 21,500
XSuperjoeX's is about 43,000
Retrodrive about 4,700
LexusRules is about 62,000
Dexter's is about 74,300 (at least until he gets a few more mods and has to make it bigger)!
GlobeCLK is about 78,500

Yours is a big daddy at 101,400... Took me a good few seconds just to open it up (I'm on dial up during the week). Might have to hunt you down if you don't make it smaller.

Try opening the pic and saving it with a slightly smaller size or higher compression factor.

Hope this helps!

 

dude you cant hose it on angelfire, geocities, maybe photopoint i dunno.. if you want me to put it on Super-Lexus for u PM me

 

thanks to everyone for your help, As you can probably see I now have a visible sig pic...thanks especially to Sasha for hosting the pic since my host is messed up...
