what do you mean by page banner? an image that links to another site or the advertising banner for Keenspace?

nar,just like a pic , it will not show up, well it does but jsu as a blank space. what folder would i put it in?

In your /images/ folder. Depending on your FTP program you may have to get there from /public_html/.

With your code your it should look something like this:
<img src=/images/my.gif>
Note: Keenspace is case-sensitive, the above code won't work if your image is 'My.gif' or 'my.GIF'.

same problem here... if I dont display the image dimensions its just a 40 by 40 white square... even with the dimensions it just becomes a LARGE white square.

Blank is your banner called banner.gif or jpg?

seven,this <img src=/images/my.gif> i throught had worked bad after i cheacked it on the web it was the same sad little box:(

How it works is that the browsers assume that the image is on this server unless you tell it otherwise; your SRC '/images/my.gif' has them looking for 'my.gif' here on the forums (right click the box, click properties and you'll see what I mean).
To display an image off-site, include your url:
<img src=http://username.keenspace.com/images/my.gif>

The bits coloured white are variables; you put your username where I've wrote "username" and the name of your image where I've put "my.gif", like so:

<img src=http://gear.keenspace.com/images/gear.png</a>>
<img src=http://gear.keenspace.com/images/gear.png>

<img src=http://warpfactor10.keenspace.com/images/party.gif</a>>
<img src=http://warpfactor10.keenspace.com/images/party.gif>

something intresting... when we did our banner picture, it used to be 40 by 40 and blank, then we put the sizes in and it was still blank...

loaded it on another computer and it showed, and on our other computer it didn't.

Everyone else could see it.

Wanna know why it didn't load? Naviscope tried to eat it because it was a banner.

So I suggest you check if you have any Ad killers running, turn them off, reload the page, and see if it loads up.

No, if you right-click and hit 'properties' you'll see he simply didn't understand how the SRC works. Shame he didn't give us his username, I'd like to know if he's got it now (and it'd given him the added bonus of being subtlely able to plug his comic).

The other big 'works on some computers but not others' I've seen is with PNG images; people choosing a color depth that's not supported by most browsers.

ummm, this is not same topic. but when my friend tried to read keenspace comices it said he would have to join up and PAY what is that bout?

Seven3 · Post by **Seven3** » Tue Apr 09, 2002 4:04 am

There's a new service called KeenSpot Prime that they'll be introducing soonish, which I imagine will be pretty much the same as KeenSpot Premium; you pay to view the comics without ads, and can access stuff that others can't. However for those who can't pay (or simply don't want to), the standard ad-driven service will still be around.

Your friend may have been confused by either <a href=http://miracle.keenspace.com/>The Makeshift Miracle</a> or <a href=http://oddjobs.keenspace.com/>Odd Jobs</a>, two comics that are actually part of <a href=http://www.moderntales.com/>Modern Tales</a>, a site which is subscriber-only.
Tell him that all KeenSpace comics that don't display this image are free and that's the way they'll stay.

Seven3 · Post by **Seven3** » Wed Apr 10, 2002 10:26 am

What list? Where?

Blank · Post by **Blank** » Sat Apr 13, 2002 11:01 pm

the list on http://www.keenspace.com/list
where there all the comics

Seven3 · Post by **Seven3** » Sun Apr 14, 2002 2:37 am

I'm sorry, but I can't see anything there about having to pay to read KeenSpace comics.

If you could copy out what it says (and where), or post a pic here of what's said, I'll have a better idea of what's up.

Post by **Kisai** » Mon Apr 15, 2002 11:41 pm

The only pay comics site I know of is http://www.moderntales.com

KeenSPOT premimum just removes the ads.

KeenSPACE premium will be a pay comic hosting service like normal keenspace but no ads, php and mySQL access and some other goodies I'm forgetting at the moment.

KeenSPACE itself will remain as it is.
