Very useful in the absence of file uploading, shall be stickied. Also take note, some sites like geocities.com need their filenames to be renamed to .txt before being able to use them (like my sig), sites like that don't allow off-site linking.

Yeah, the .uk Tripod has PHP support, but it ate the PHPBB script I uploaded! ='E

Also, Quicky, remove CrossWinds, they aren't free anymore. I lost my site when that happened. =/

Tripod's Website Builder program SUCKS, so you'd better know HTML if you use Tripod.

For anyone who just needs someplace to store their avatar and sig pics, try http://www.sighosting.com. You get only 3mb (for free), but it's more than enough to solve the problem of where to host forum sigs. Be sure to read the rules first.

Once there was a shyguy who
came back to MFGG for one day to post,
then he went back to dreaming about ramen.
