I want to add a clickable banner to my myspace profile. I made the banner, what I want it to do is be clickable to an outside url, a forum actually. When I host the banner at image shack then add it in my profile with the appropriate html it never saves correctly and the banner shows up on my profile and its clickable but because it wasnt completely saved properly the url gets messed up in the save process.

<a href="yoursiteurl.com" target="_blank"><img src="imageurlhere" border="0"></a>

welp this is what i put in:

<a href="http://gargle.19.forumer.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/8481/trillvilleov6.gif" border="0"</a>

and this is what happens to it after i hit "save all changes":

<a href="http://gargle.19.../" target="_blank"><img src="http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/8481/trillvilleov6.gif" border="0"</a>

see where after gargle.19 there is just "..." instead of forumer? any ideas?

its blocked by myspace, same with many other domains and phrases. for example, you can't put "aim:"

Is there any kind of work around? I mean there must be some way to add that url ...right?

it should work, but you didn't close the img tag.
<a href="http://gargle.19.forumer.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/8481/trillvilleov6.gif" border="0"></a>
that's what it should be, and it should work. I have outside links on my profile.

I got the same thing it saved like this:

<a href="http://gargle.19.../" target="_blank"><img src="http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/8481/trillvilleov6.gif" border="0"></a>

it replaces the rest of the link with periods, i bolded them here. i realize the url is filtered now, but there must be some workaround so that i can somehow link it. thanks.

Instead of copy and pasting the url, have you tried manually editing where it displays the '...' to the proper url?
