There have been 2 groups shut down this week for hotlinking. Hotlinking is when you copy a pic from another site and paste it into your post. Hotlinking is also known as bandwith theft - and it is ILLEGAL!
I have randomly opened 15 posts from the last week and over half of the pics posted were hotlinked pics. How do I know? hover your mouse over the pic you want to check - now press the right mouse button you should see a box like this pop up. Click 'properties'
When the next 'box' appears it will look like one of the following. if the pic is ok to keep - it will have groups.msn in the addy line, if it is an illegally hotlinked pic, it will not. I have an example of each below.
When a manager or assistant manager discovers a hotlinked picture, we will delete without explaining.
Please acknowledge that you have read and understood this miniature information tut; and that you agree that we must do this to keep the group safe.
If you have ANY questions, please ask them here. TY
Tina
