    I am trying to link one of my pictures to a web signature from another of my web sites. However, the signature site requires a link that ends in .jpg or .gif but when I right click on the picture to get the URL, it doesn't end with either of those formats. It ends with img?

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thanks!

    Would it help to point out that the URL in the sig probably has to be in the <IMG> ... </IMG> (where you replace my >< with ][), but the picture file itself on the Web server you're taking it FROM has to be a jpg or gif?

    I'm here - just been celebratin'

    Go to http://www.RonSellsHouses.com. I want to take the upper right caricature and place it in a signature on another site.

    I know there is supposed to be a .jpg or .gif at the end of the URL, but it ain't there.

    Thanks for your responses!

    That site is set up so you can't link to any of the images.

    If you right click and "save picture", you will see it is a jpg. You will have to take the picture and put it somewhere where you can link to it directly.

    I kinda thought that but didn't know for sure. Thanks. I see what else I can do.

    If you right-click the image and select "properties" there should be information in the middle of the properties box with a url/address for the image. Copy the url and use it as you wish.

    Thanks, Draith, but that doesn't work since it does not have a .jpg or .tif ending.
