Could I make a little suggestion? I read the instructions to post in this thread in the initial post, but "hotlinking" was recently pointed out to me as not such a good thing. "The reason for this is that every time somebody loads this page the image is downloaded off the server it was hot linked from, this puts strain on their servers and takes up some of their bandwidth thus slowing their site down." Apparently, many web admins get angry about this as it is actually STEALING their bandwidth.
All the images I have posted in this thread I simply downloaded to disk and then uploaded them to an image hosting site. Actually downloading to disk and then uploading takes very little time at all, even for a dialup user like myself.(3 minutes, tops ) Also, images saved to disk can be edited for size ( I use Irfranview, freeware). That being said, I think this is a realy fun game, and I hope I haven't offended anyone.
All of the following are free, and only photobucket requires an account.

Kathy, for the computer illiterate like me, I have no idea what you said. Sorry if I'm doing it wrong, but this is how I know how.Quote:

Then when posting, click the Img box, paste that URL, and click Img again to close the tag."
This is an example of "hotlinking" . Hotlinking is not good. I am not saying that the person who gave the instructions is bad or anything like that, simply misinformed.This seems like a nice place with nice people. I am not trying to give offense to anyone, just putting forth my opinion. Actually, you can scroll up on this same page and see a post that says "Sorry, no hotlinking allowed"
"What is hotlinking and bandwidth theft?
Bandwidth theft or "hotlinking" is direct linking to a web site's files (images, video, etc.). An example would be using an <img> tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else's web page so it will appear on your own site, eBay auction listing, weblog, forum message post, etc.
Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a web site to a user's computer. When you view a web page, you are using that site's bandwidth to display the files. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue. If a site is over its monthly bandwidth, it's billed for the extra data or taken offline.
A simple analogy for bandwidth theft: Imagine a random stranger plugging into your electrical outlets, using your electricity without your consent, and you paying for it."
I am not saying you or anyone else is doing something the "wrong way" and again, I am not trying to cause offense.
"All the images I have posted in this thread I simply downloaded to disk and then uploaded them to an image hosting site. " This means:
1.) do image search
2.) find image, right click, select save to disk. (Your computer)
3.) go to image hosting site (imageshack and tinypic require no account, no registration ect..)
4.) upload image to image host
5.) Use the image url provided to you by image host, click img box, paste in url, close img box.
Sounds long and tedious, but in reality takes less than 3 minutes for me to do on a dialup connection. DSL and Cable users would take even less. You are then using the bandwidth of the image host, not the original server's. Image hosts WANT you to use their bandwidth, that is why they are there. Thusly, this eliminates the issue of "hotlinking".
