Did it get fixed???? Looks like an attached image to me.

Pico, we're supposed to do it the way you did it, I think. I have a vague recollection of UT saying perhaps a few times not to hotlink. But a lot of people still hotlink.

UT? Guidance?

D'oh!

Funny, how I misread that.

I still have no idea how you hotlink, though...even after googling.

monster · 07-19-2011, 01:52 PM

yes, i'm a bad, bad girl. if you link to people's images, you use their bandwidth. But it's quicker and easier. So tell me, is the problem fixed? I stole the pic and made it an attachment instead.

to hotlink, you put the url of the pic between [img] [/img] tags. And then you go to hell forever

When you find an image online, copy the image location (the url for the image).

In the cellar, click on mountains icon (has the popup text "insert image"). Paste the url in there. The image is now hotlinked in your message.

Web sites owners don't like this because you end up using their bandwidth. Every time someone looks at the page with your message on it, their browser goes to the original site to get the image.

So why would we do it?

I still think UT should weigh in...what does he want people from other sites to do if taking images from here?

No. It's just that it takes longer to be pedantic, so I missed your post whilst writing mine.

Besides are we not bffs? How could you ever doubt me?
