Is there a "how to" for posting photos?
To pick up the address to a picture on some other site, you just right click on it and then choose " copy link to picture ".
O yes i have linked, probably more than anything else, CUZ i feel DL a image only to UL it elsewhere is annoying even if i have band with many can still only dream about.
TBH i never really considered the ramifications of sharing one way or another, nor band with or copyright questions.
Someone asked permission to use my latest YT upload where a woman reverse into me, that i never expected, but i suppose he is using it in a somewhat commercial way on his channel, anyway i of course said go for it CUZ otherwise i would never have uploaded it or anything for that matter.
In general i do feel people should have what they are entitled to, also if by some miracle their hobby become something they can now life off.
i also feel that you should be able to hang your clothe out to dry, and not have it be stolen by others.
The picture above of the king is from DR.dk the Danish public broadcaster, this i and all Danes pay towards with no chance of not doing that, so i feel i have paid plenty for the photographer the hosting and the bandwidth
Actually i am amazed i can link to it, CUZ the site is heavily Geolocked, i cant even access it with my VPN even if i am going thru a Danish server, but it seem others are able to get in there using other VPN services to among other things enjoy the concerts of our National symphonic orchestra ( also funded by tax and unavoidable )
And i think that is okay, CUZ i am enslaved to that, and so i decide that what i pay for must be enjoyed by as many as possible, also people not living in Denmark CUZ i am a nice guy.
Maybe CUZ you can not let some things go, it seem like every conversation that go sideways in here, you are a part of it.
You said your thing, i tried perhaps immature, perhaps ignorant, perhaps linguistic and socially challenged to relate to that, i think we should just let it be.
I'm pleased to hear that bandwidth problems are not of concern but there are still other issues to consider with the issue of hot linking. As the wikipedia article states, "The blurring of boundaries between sites can lead to other problems when the site violates users' expectations. Other times, inline linking can be done for malicious purposes." Even when copyright is not a legal issue many creative people are not too pleased to discover their work used in ways they did not intend and/or are not being paid for but where others are using it as content to attract viewers. As a photographer I have found my images used on web sites, in magazines, newspapers and even on television without my knowledge, permission or payment. Web developers could traditionally see who was accessing images on their sites and from where but with a proxy it only makes this more difficult. I no longer post commercially viable images on the web unless it is under contract.Just a heads up the Xenforo uses an image proxy for any hot linked images. It essentially stores a local copy of the image and the local copy is displayed when a user views the thread. You can check this by opening up an image that was shared this way in a new tab/window. Should have minimal impacts on bandwidth for the original source.
Feel free to use either the upload or link image options on this site.
Indeed, years ago i always used a local " file " share host, it was no problem for a decade or 2 but then suddenly it was gone.no images in historic posts
