No More Hotlinking!

Hi guys!! It's come to my attention that a LOT of you are using the ScrapMatters gallery to host your images to post here. This needs to stop. Its called hotlinking (aka bandwidth theft), and its bad for SM! It makes the gallery and site lag and its basically stealing bandwidth! Please read more about what hotlinking is HERE.

The images you upload to a scrap site, should only be used on that scrap site. Not outside sites. Because you are using that site's bandwidth to view it. Instead, you need to host your own images at an image hosting site, like photobucket, imageshack or smugmug. It's free to set up an account.

You can TOTALLY make your images LINK to your credits page, you just can't use the image's URL (the one ending in .jpg) from the SM gallery, to make your photo appear in ANY thread that isn't on SM's forum. Does that make sense?

I know many of you have spent hours posting LOs in the venue threads here at MouseScrappers, so you don't need to go back and fix anything. Just from here on out, please do NOT use the SM image URLs to host your LO images. I know that none of you would purposefully do anything to hurt ScrapMatters. I know it was unintentional - just make sure to stop hotlinking from here on out. No hard feelings!!

Again - making you image link or posting links to SM for credits = fine.
Using the image URL from the SM gallery (or any non-image hosting site for that matter) = not ok.

I know this isn't the most convenient thing, but it has to be done. We can't be stealing other site's bandwidth!! K?? We don't want to get ourselves in trouble AGAIN!

Thanks for your cooperation everyone!! Let me know if you have any questions!

Carol, most of the SM tuts are disabled, am I able to delete those discussions so people dont waste time browsing through them? Do I have that power considering I created them? I see a window below each discussion that says delete discussion but dont wanna click on something and mess up, thats why Im asking you.

Heres one: http://www.mousescrappers.com/forums...iscussionid=17

But I just realized it is for messages no discussions, silly me. I can link you to all the disabled discussions if you need too. Needless to say some members will down their posts number if the discussions are deleted, maybe edit the title with a: link disabled or something like that?

Oh wow... I never even knew this group/discussion existed. Looks like there is some good info here. It would be nice to have it in the forums where everyone can see it... But I don't see a way to move them. I don't even see a way to rename it. maybe we can go thru and add the items that are still valid to the software forum. Would that be okay with you? Or is there an advantage for keeping it as a discussion?

Not at all! In fact I always thought not enough PS users knew about this group, lots of great tut and tips in there Would you start a thread or something? Do you have an idea of the how posting them? on individual threads or all in one kinda PS users? Would be great as more people would be able to share new ones.
