Please don't hotlink pix to this forum. It's against the TOS,and can get this forum shut down permanently.Besides,it's bandwidth theft,and just not nice.
Some webmasters get really upset about it,and do all kinds of mean,nasty,ugly things.
I am not aware of any hotlinked pix,but I'll be checking all the pix here over the next few days.Any hotlinked pix will be deleted. Sorry,gotta do it.
Hotlinking is basically copying and pasting an image from another site,without hosting it yourself,on Photobucket,Flickr,or one of the many other image hosting sites on the web.(Google it for more info)
I should have said something about this earlier.It's in the TOS,but I know not everybody bothers to read all that stuff,even though they should.
I know some of you have lots of pix posted here.If anyone has pix hotlinked,please convert them. Either host them on Photobucket,or some other image host,or you can get the URL,and use the "wImg" uploader on this forum to host them,but don't upload directly from the URL of a pic on another site.
You can save to your desktop,then upload with our uploader,which will host your pic on wImg.
Just click ''browse'',and it will go to your computer to find the pic. Once you find the pic,double click on it,and the path to it will appear in the box to the left of "browse"
Click upload,and a window will open with two boxes,one labeled "direct link",the other "Image link"
Image link is the one you want.Just copy,and paste into your post wherever you want.
Then you can delete the pic from your computer,if you want.
Or,if you want to upload directly from a website,go to the ''wImg Uploader" link,and open it. You will see an option there for ''URL''. Just paste the URL in there,and proceed as above directions.
Thanks
Bruce
