Two of the photos you have listed are photoshopped. Try to guess which ones.

BTW, not cool on hotlinking your pictures using others' bandwidth. Use a web host, please. It is the courteous thing. There are many free ones out there.

So not only do they "steal" the image (it is probably copyrighted and they are copying it without permission each time the web site is loaded) they "steal" the bandwidth!!

This is extraordinarily bad form, it's tasteless and it should be avoided like the plague.

You asked a question and I provided an answer. I am sorry you feel that providing information to someone who asked for it is an issue. Most people appreciate it. If it is still an issue for you, there is a foes list. You are more than welcome to add my name to it. Other may be interested in the information I provide.

Why do you keep calling me Kath or Kathy?

it just seems as if you are putting me down for not knowing what you were talking about. the one comment in red is making it seem like you think i am stupid as well as the picture. i read the page from the link and did a yahoo search on it because the link you provided wasn't making to much sense since it did not explain in non biased way of what it was that you were trying to tell me. i read the site that i found and now i know what you mean. but if you can tell from previous posts before i started posting pics that all i did was talk and not put pictures to anything so i didn't know what you were saying now i do.

I am not sure why you are including fly's post with mine. What fly posts is his own opinion.

However, the link I provided you was pretty informative. There isn't a biased or non-biased way of discussing stealing bandwidth.

I don't know if you are stupid or not but, in truth, you are lazy. You expect others to do the legwork for you when it is very simple to open up a search engine and find the answer for yourself. "Google is your friend" is a gentle (and it really is) way of telling you to do your own research. There are website owners that you may be taking pictures from that would not be so kind.

CHILL!!!
CHILL OUT, NOW!!!
YOU MUST CHILL!!!

Yes, it is "bad form" to just link to a photo on someone else's web site. On top of the whole bandwidth issue, there may also be copyright issues to consider. Right now, I'm making a conscious choice to address the former, and ignore the latter.

Photobucket is your friend!

For the low, low fee of... well, nothing... you can have your own little account with as many photo albums as you want. Just add whatever photo you want to your album, and when you add it to the forum post, link to your Photobucket file, rather than the original site you stol--eerrr, borrowed it from. :mrgreen:

Some restrictions may apply. Tax, title & license not included. See store for details. Offer void in Alaska and Hawaii. Certain spokespersons have been compensated for their endorsement. Your mileage may vary. Results not typical.

Two of these (that I know of) have been photo shopped, and one was used as an advertisement, but the slogan was cropped out.

Its referencing the industry standard for picture editing software, Adobe Photoshop.

I'm just adding the link since there are so many cool pictures on this & sooner or later I will run out of bandwidth on the free host sites I use.
