Title: Image use
Post by: Jeff on February 25, 2018, 03:57:14 PM
Because I can see the possibility now that the biggest image hosting site --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!-- out there is blocking 3rd party image linking,  I have seen the need to do that as well here so our images are not being used all over the net and sucking our bandwidth.  Images hosted on the Forestry Forum will not be able to be viewed from any other website unless authorized and added by me.  If a sponsor or client or member happens to see the image displayed below, or if you have a legitimate need to link to images here, please contact me. Other than that, anything else will be automatically disallowed.

Yup, you can, in fact you can make it domain specific. A few years ago there was an unmentionable website that was hotlinking to some of our images. They had several pages on thier unmentionable site with our photos on them.  Over night, they all turned into "I STOLE THIS IMAGE FROM THE FORESTRY FORUM, I AM AN IMAGE THIEF AND I SUCK!

Probably not related to this thread, but lately when I attempt to add a photo to a post, I get a message that I do not have permission to perform the task of adding photos.  The photos have been uploaded to the gallery.

@Sixacresand (http://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=15201)  This means that you never cleared out all of your Forestry Forum bookmarks and cookies from the old server. You will have this continuing problem until you do so. You have to clear ALL OF THEM, not just the last hour, or last day, or last week. ALL OF THEM. And no, it has nothing to do with this topic. ;)
