If you see a picture that you want you can 'lift it' - just right click on top of it, click properties and then

behind the url. That should work ~ good luck!!

Thanks for the suggestion. It worked!

That's true, but I think you left out that maybe they should download it to their computer and then upload it to their own image hosting service, as stealing bandwidth isn't cool.

What do you mean by stealing bandwidth? I was under the impression that if it was an un-protected graphic or without trademark it was good to go?!

What lennon is saying is that the image posted from another website uses that site's bandwidth without putting any traffic through their site. Everytime someone views the graphic, the host site has to "push" the image to that computer. But they don't get the benefit of the vieweer actually coming to their website to view their content. 'Bout right, lennon?

If you copy the image to your computer (which is usually OK if it isn't trademarked) and you upload it to an image hosting site like http://www.pictub.com, then the bandwidth is provided by pictub.

Yikes, that sounds very complicated... I'll try to figure it all out when I get back from WDW.
Thanks for answering my question.

Yes, thanks for explaining it much better than I would have. A couple more image hosting sites: http://www.photobucket.com and http://www.imageshack.us

That has never worked for me when I tried anyways. But I would like to get SWAKed too!

Thanks!
I am having trouble post ANYTHING in my signature right now. Not sure why, but everything I try won't let me! I keep getting this saying.


"In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist."

I don't even know what that means. I've put stuff in my signature in the past. Not sure why I can't now.
