Hey guys, I was just linking the url's to two of my articles for one of the guys thread and noticed that there are red x's instead of the pictures. What happened.

The two articels are Ground TOW 2 Weapon System and TOW 2 Weapon System PArt II.

Just noticed that my signature picture is missing too.

Pete, It might have something to do with the switchover.

It looks like pics with URLs in the "http://photos.kitmaker.net/data/..." format don't work. I'm sure Jim will fix it soon.

All these photos can however be reached by using "http://photos.kitmaker.net/data/..." URLs.

May be the "Dark Side" is stronger than before.
Don't underestimate the power of the scratchbuilders.

Mary, here is what I did.

Go to your acount page and delete the URL link entirely for your "old" banner URL. Then add in (without the quotes of course): "http://photos.kitmaker.net/data/"

Next, open up a seperate window and go to where you banner image is located. In my case it is in the gallery. Take the copy and paste URL (like you'd use to post an image in the forums) and - minus the (img)(/img) brackets, add it it to the end of the url you added in the signature line.

In my case, the two combined said: http://photos.kitmaker.net/datahttp://photos.kitmaker.net/data/500/3931USNavy25341.jpg

Okay. Take out the "http://photos.kitmaker.net/data/" and you should be in business.

Here is what my URL finally looked like:
http://photos.kitmaker.net/data/500/3931USNavy25341.jpg

If you have problems with this, let me know and if you tell me where your banner is located I can probably make the URL for you.


EDIT: Screw it. Pete here is what your link should be:
http://photos.kitmaker.net/data/500/22cid_558511820_07072004-001A.jpg

Mary, You have two banners in your gallery so here are the links for them:
"http://photos.kitmaker.net/data//500/39243499Tgal1bann.jpg" or
"http://photos.kitmaker.net/data//500/3924banner.jpg"
However I think it is the former that is your main one.

No problem. I was teaching girl in one of my MS 201 (ROTC) class "army things" for our final today and I am in sort of a teaching mood, but in writing instructions for changing urls (a fun topic in itself ), I though "screw this"
