Yeah...it sucks about Geocities not allowing linking of pics (thumbnails). Two things; *It's not how much server space it would require, we have boatloads of that. It is once again, bandwidth, and anything that would be a strain on site speed. ;o/ *Usually, when you have a working freestuff item, with a working thumbnail, the best indicator that, the item is no longer available (the owners homesite is gone), is the thumbnail stops working. BUT, on the flipside - having all the thumbs on the renderosity server sure would speed up loading the freestuff area, as you are browsing it. Not only because they would be "local", but beacause some of those current thumbnails are NOT 200x200, 15Kb pics, some are MUCH bigger in size and Kb. Yet, here's an exmaple of the bandwidth problem, I hosted a freestuff item, a Poser Seagull, in my file locker space here at Renderosity. Just the thumbnail for that item (11Kb), has now been viewed 45,876 times. That equals 50Mb. (over about 5 months time) But, I'm still trying to think of a good solution to all this....;o) AgentSmith
