PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY!!! HOW DO I STOP DIRECT LINKING TO IMAGES ON GEOCITIES!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!! THE WEBSITE DIDN'T TELL ME HOW TO DO IT ON GEOCITIES SO I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!

Geocities doesn't allow direct linking. so if anyone tries to, they will not be permitted to, and therefore, your bandwidth will not be used.

Note: the Caps Lock key is located on most keyboards on the left side, usually next to the A key :)

ummm... okay first let me i say i didnt know you could stop direct linking and secondly i have to disagree with dude, because i have done it to myself... i have a couple of free accounts i have had forever with geocities, and i now have a pay account thru geocities and i have direct linked to sum of my items on my free pages.

You can direct link to an image on a geocities server if the page you're putting it on is on a geocities server too. For example, if on the page http://geocities.com/trebulon7/index.html i direct linked to the image at http://geocities.com/buggirllu/BugGirlBig.jpg, then it would show up on the page. However, if i tried to link to the same image on a different site, for exapmle if i tried to post it here, i would get a red x.

Geocities isnt fool enough to let people direct link to their images, though there is no way to prevent people from linking to images on other geocities pages.

ahhh ha !! so we were both right lol

i found what you were looking for i didnt think it was possible but it actualy is possible to stop people from direct linking theres even a space to edit the code to allow certain sites to direct link (so say u wanted to direct link to your self like i do you would put your other webpage address in there)
