Angelfire doesn't allow you to link directly to their images.

<--- is confused.

Angelfire doesn't allow you to link directly to their images.

Hmmm... that's odd. I've only had this problem once before in the past, and it was on this board.... :(

It shows up elsewhere....

And in fact it shows up for me now...

It shows up for you because the image is in your cache.

When our computers see it, we don't have it in our cache, so our computers try to download from Angelfire.

Which pops up their hotlinking image.

Host this on photobucket or something.

Hmmm... don't know about that. I've operated off of several different machines for a number of years and have never had any trouble viewing images off angelfire that were never in the cache of the particular machine.

Anyway, we digress.


Comments on the Assult Gun-Mortar 2, anyone?
(If I'm in luck, some of you may remember the first modle I came out with almost exactly a year ago. :))

Bump

Are you still in trade agreements with ANA? becasue we are seriously looking at buying or developing some surface world systems, all we have for that at the moment are the power armour troops and fighters!

Semi IC: Yes. Daistallian Military Industries would be willing to satisfy your ground force system needs. We are, afterall in the to third percentile (yes
that is the third, not thirtieth percentile) for largest arms manufacturing industry, and have historically concentracted on land systems.
We should be making an announcement soon regarding availibility of our most recent systems.
Also, at least one Daistallian military security comany should be announcing plans for a training, equiping, and organizing force, as well as a pure fighting force...

OOC: Looking to ease back into some RPafter a fair absence.
I know my land systems better than naval or air systems.
I have several varients of the AGM-2 simply awaiting finalization, including a combat engineer tractor, an AVLB, a heavy SP gun, a couple of IFV variants, as well as at least three different wheeled AFVs, an up dated RPG/tactical missile launcher, updated body armor, and a new family of assault rifles in the works...

Angelfire doesn't allow you to link directly to their images.

The way to get around that is, I think, copying and pasting the URL into your browser.
