Copyright Theft

Post by DRT »

A quick lesson on how to incorporate images from other sites in your posts here or on any other phpBB:

1. Find the image you are looking for using Google or something else

2. Right click on the image you want and, when the menu appears, select "Properties"

3. Tripple-click on the "Address " field and, when the URL is highlighte ... t=325]here to see how I have utilised images on another site without having to upload them into my own account on Flickr.com or something similar.

bandwidth theft

Technically it’s bandwidth theft. Generally tolerated for small images on not-too-busy websites. I’ve done it too, here even.

I feel as though I've just about got the hang of the 20th Century, and then some Bugger informs me its been the 21st Century for 7 years!!!

Derek,

tried your cunning plan. It worked great for pictures, see below. Thats the dump I'm staying at, next to Oporto.
But when I tried to do it with an Emoticon drinking Guiness (You can imagine how useful that might be :D ), this is all I got. Any Clues???

The [img] tag only works when the file you are pointing at has a standard image file extension such as .gif at the very end of the address string, which this file does not.

I have a copy of the image file but can't work out how to add it to the Smilies on this site.

Perhaps The Creator or her lovely Assistant can help?

Conky , isn't It unfortunate you have to go to Oporto to temporarily stay in a dump . . .
