Image PolicyDirect LinkingFirst and foremost, please do not direct link any images. Direct linking is when you cut and paste the URL of the image. Instead, you should save the image to your computer and upload it to your own server or a free server. Sites With Free Image Hosting: Photobucket.com Imageshack.us 'No direct linking' is a very common rule that you'll probably see elsewhere, and you're probably wondering why it's such a big deal. When you direct link an image from another site, that site's bandwidth, the amount of data that can be transferred over a network in a fixed amount of time, is being used. If the bandwidth limit is exceeded, it will cause that site to shut down (And the image won't work anymore either!). Using Screenshots and Other Images Credits |
