Geocities Remote Linking Workaround

ArsoN

<div class="IPBDescription">Mmmm, randomizer.</div> Well, not modelling related, i know, but since so many people use geocities for image hosting, i though i'd post here.

The trick is to use a "randomiser", i'm not sure what it does, but it worked for me when i used geocities.

What you have to do is put "http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/" before your geocities link, i.e. htt_p://invis.free.anonymizer.com/htt_p://www.geocities.com/your_link_here (i had to put the underscores in the http's to stop the forums putting the [url] tags in. Works with IMG tags, and download links.

also theres the .txt trick (rename stuff to your file.txt), or you could get an elixant account, which is what i have, and i can use remote linking.

Using .txt links don't provide clickable links for anything other than IE though, afaik.

or you could just add a ? after the filename

you can put a space after the link too, something like
"http://www.geocities.com/your_link_here "
