Howdy All,

I'm not sure how many of you have had this problem, but I wanted to share my experience in case someone else goes through it, too.

Lesson: Don't rely on graphics web-pages to keep their pictures up on the web. I was linking to a cute background image out on the web in my auctions. The picture was such that white text looked best over it. Well, the graphics site went down, my background image vanished, and so all my white text was invisible! :mad:

Solution: Download any graphics you find on the web, and then upload them to photobucket, or some other reliable photo hosting site. :cool:

So if anyone looked at my listings the last couple of days and said, "There's no description of these items", please go back and look again. Everything should be visible now!

Happy Holidays,
Eric

It is all there and looks great, Ericcctx :D
Just a ??, Did you (previously) link directly to the site? MOST will
not allow that(unless a regular picture/graphic's site):).

Yes, I had linked directly to the graphics site.....and it worked for a while. Now I know better.

Thanks for the feedback.....I'm hoping things pick up a little around here.

I'm going to buy a couple of things from someone to help the "feeding-frenzy" get started!
