I sometimes put Gifs in my posts taken from a site that let you use them free,
but when i post them on FG they disappear after a while and are replaced by a cross in a box.
Arnold lane had the same problems recently, anyone have any ideas why?
BTW, where is Arnie, he has'nt been on for a while?

Yes, that's why you shouldn't "hotlink". The files get moved or changed on the server that you are pulling them from - and hence - they go away.
The best way is to save them and then attach them to your posts. That way, they will stay here on the FG server.

He's a stonemason. That'd probably be a comfortable place for him.
