Q.1 Does the CA 'site require photos ect to be posted on another website for inclusion in signatures and general postings?
Avatars ie your signature have to be stored somewhere else. Photobucket or places like that. Or Alternatively your own site.
I've tried by starting a blog on 'My Space' and it doesn't work when including the location in the 'Profile' section.
Myspace is a registration site. Other members will not be able to view it unless they are logged in, which includes yourself ofcourse.
Q.2 Is there a way of 'cutting & pasting' to include a pic within the text block?
I realise that server space is limited. But seeing the threads of dubious related photos and those in the girls/motors/racing. I've tried and burned.
As for General Postings try to post the location of the image as opposed to adding it as an attachment. (to Add as an attachment click on additional options when replying.) To find the location of images in Firefox's Internet Browser, right click and select copy image location. then paste this into the reply. to make it show on the page highlight the whole line you copied and select the little picture frame in the bottom left row of the icons.
Q.3 If the above can be answered, what is the prefered format of any pic?
Don't go bigger then 1024x768, I try to keep images at 800x600. Saving as a JPEG is best. Try to avoid Bitmaps as these are much larger in size.
Hope this helps
