No it's not
OK. I'll try and explain. Your sig comes from the S2000Online server as a link. No image data is stored here. Your browser then uses that link and goes out to where the image is stored and tries to download it from there. If it can't (like if the link is bogus, the server is down or whatever) you get an [red]X[/red]
Thus if the link in your sig is correct then the problem lies with the server the image is stored on and not the S2000Online server. Note that some servers will not let you link to an image from outside thier local domain. This is the case with geocities and lots of other free web hosting services. It's just that you only notice it here but if you created a web page on a different server and link from there it wouldn't work either.
Your ISP will usually include some amount of free web host space. I recommend you use that if you can. @home gives me 10MB and the links work from there.
Pictures located on geocities will NOT be visible to readers in your sig or in your posts
