New cool feature.....

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 21-Dec-00 AT 01:24 AM (EST)[/font][p]One the real pains about adding graphics to your postings is you need to have a web site to put them on and then link to them in your posting......

Not anymore!

Now you can upload a GIF or JPG/JPEG formated file directly to our server using our forum software! The link for doing this can be found on the posting screen. After uploading the file, our forum will give you the address you need to link to in order to put the image in your posting....

Here's an example:

Pretty slick...

No you can't use it for Ebay. I have to pay for all bandwidth used by our server. Geocities, Angelfire, etc. all have programs in place that put up a "Image Unavailable" type of image when you try to link them from Ebay. The programs that protect against this call it "bandwidth theft."

Just a quick follow-up....

I'm installing code tonight that will prevent remote retrieving any images from our site except for our banners.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 21-Dec-00 AT 09:24 PM (EST)[/font][p]I went one step further.... now any attempt to use a graphic hosted on our site from a source other than our site will automatically replace the image with the following image:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/ad_graphics/ftebanner.gif

Ain't I a stinker? :-)

Hey Ken your new cool feature seems to be working too well. When I tried to access the picture gallery additions from the main page your graphic shows up instead of the picture, the profile is still readable just no pic. Just a heads up!

What is the page address you're using to access it? Give me the complete URL from the address line of your browser and I'll try to see what's wrong. It should only give the graphic if a) the web page isn't from one of our domains or b) your browser is not supplying referrer information (page source). Also, what web browser?

I don't think it likes either one of us, what do you think.

After all the times I posted that picture of our Rescue truck I just gave up.
