    Basically, looking at your images, I can see you did something like this:

    [img]http://arkeis.com/images/animations/494.gif[/img]

    Am I right?

    Well. That actually hurts Arkeis because the more you do it, the more likely their server will go down because you're actually sending a lot more people to their site than they can handle. (Even though this is PC, every image you link that way is still on Arkeis, so it's like a mini window to Arkeis is opening up. That steals bandwidth, or the amount of space Arkeis can use each month to support their site.) This is called "hotlinking."

    What you should do is whenever you see an image you want to use, take your mouse and hit the right button instead of the left. (If you're using a Mac, follow these steps.) You should see a little gray menu that pops up with different options. One of these is, "Save image as..." Click on that, and a box should pop up with folders that are actually on your computer. Find a folder you can easily find later and hit "save."

    Now, go to a free image host. Free image hosts are websites that are designed to let you host images, so you can link to images on those sites the way you're doing in your signature. I've linked you to two that most people use in my other VM, so you can try those out if you'd like.

    When you get there, you should find a button that will allow you to upload an image. It's different for every site (and Photobucket requires you to sign up first), but it's clearly marked "upload." After that, the same box you just saw for saving an image should pop up again. Find your image and double click on it. That will cause it to open on the site. After that, hit upload, and the image will be saved to that image host.

    Once that's done, it'll have codes you can use on websites like these. Just copy one and paste it in your signature, and you're done!

    Or, in even simpler terms, Arkeis doesn't want you to do what you're doing in your sig to make those images appear. They've put it in bold print on their sprite pages. It's a good idea to take them down and figure out how to get them to show up without using one of Arkeis's URLs.

    Erm, I hope you don't mind me being nitpicky, but if you link directly to images on Arkeis in things like your signature, that puts stress on their server -- which means they're more likely to go down. (This is what Arkeis meant by "please don't hotlink to these sprites" right on the BW animated sprite page. "Hotlink" means to link directly to the image on their site instead of saving it to your computer and uploading it someplace else.) ._. To avoid this, may I recommend right-clicking on the image you want to use, saving it to your own computer, and then uploading it to a free image host (which is designed to allow people to link to images off-site) like Photobucket or Imageshack?

About Me

    Biography
    I'm a high school studuent whos going to go to collage in september.

    I am going to do 4 A-levels including ICT, mathamatics and physics. Then plan to go to University and get a degree in computer science. Which will hopefully get me into game designing.

    My first pokemon game was brought somewhere inbetween 2005-2007. I brought pokemon pearl while my twin (a long time companion) brought diamond.

    I have played pokemon ever since.

    Other interests include reading books such as the mistborn trilogy, Kvothe series and other unusual books that relate science or fantasy, or tv series such as Doctor who, big bang theory and top gear.

    I also enjoy anime such as 'welcome to outer space', 'summer wars (the girl who leapt in time was horrendable sad)', get backers and many more.

    I also enjoy reading a bit of manga

    I am currently trying to save up for a really good laptop, wish me luck!
