I hope you're joking. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback IP address. It always points to your own machine.

Yeah, I asked a friend about it right after I posted, who reminded me. I wasn't kidding

Hehe, it's fine for me, must be your res.

I took that Chick image off anyway, it was only meant to be in the sig a day but I forgot about it.

You signature has to work in 800x600, which is what I and probably most of the board uses.

I'm 800x600 and it works just fine for me.

Although it was said before, I just want to repeat it and give a little more detail: this information is recorded to a logfile every time you visit any web page anywhere on the Internet. (Well, the ISP isn't stored, but a quick lookup on the IP will provide that information for anyone who's curious.) Those logfiles are then used to produce the server stats you see on some sites.

The only thing that picture does is serve as a reminder that the information shown has been seen -- and stored -- by every web site you've ever visited (at the time you visited it, of course).

Also known as "localhost"

EDIT: oops, I didn't realize there was a second page when I replied that to the 127.0.0.1 thing.

That gif reminds me of this link:

Your computer is snooped and the page reveals how much relevant information can be retrieved from your computer.

Really, is that by choice? While I like the larger print size of 800x600 I usually stick with 1024x768 for the higher resolution. I like it better with pictures, plus some websites are formated for that size and the scrowling gets annoying.

Partly by choice, my eyes are strained by reading too much smaller text but I also find more sites are fucked up by running at a higher resolution then are screwed by 800x600.

Anyway it is a board policy that signature pictures should not be more then 500-550 pixels wide. Speaking of which, your current array of four or five images is also causing problems.
