Due to JPM's funny post I noted the graphics linked to Free-DC seem to keep moving on and actualizing. Which can lead to funny moments when reading a post a few weeks or months later. ;)

Now I noted I cannot host these graphics locally to 'fix' them. Is there a way to get them locked and posted - other than uploading from my own comp?

If I understand what you are saying, you want a static (as in non-updating Free-DC graphic). You will need to save the graphic to your computer so it is "fixed". The saved image can then be uploaded to a hosting service but that a lot of extra extra steps. Your best bet is to use Dropbox which has public folders. Got move the image to that folder then right-click the file to grab the Dropbox URL for it. Now you can use the tags with the URL to post the graphic.

BTW, If you use FireFox and have the Quickdrag plugin (Link (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickdrag/?src=search)) you can drag-n-drop images displayed in FF directly to the Dropbox Public folder.

I just tested it with your sig graphic
