Message 1257554 - Posted: 8 Jul 2012, 15:21:45 UTC - in response to Message 1257546.  

You could try it one sentence at a time. Like; “it was a dark and stormy night”.

Yes, we've played at that in the TLPTPW threads, when Sir John posted a partial statememt ending with .... and we continued it for several posts.

But it's also summer time, and many of us are not here as often as we are in the winter, so even the most popular games will lag a little bit.

I like that, We should drop the other game and do that haha. I just need the old one locked and I could create that (or anyone could.)

It happens sometimes. I usually check to make certain there was not an intervening post while I was posting mine. If there was, I edit mine.

These things do tend to work themselves out. The odd thing is I did just refresh before I posted that. I must have been scrolled up a few and didn't realize it. Oh well, it looks to already have recovered for the most part.

That is a nono here. Nag mode on: Regular posters should know that. Nag mode off.

Yes, and occasionally web sites will see a lot of hot linked hits and dynamically disable it, something the OP won't know until later. Caches also can obscure this.

Of course copying a photo and putting it on a site where hot linking is enabled, well, that is a copyright violation.

Have I held the TV Trivia thread by skill, or is no one playing?

I was kinda going to say the same thing...

If we can't hot-link, and can't copy online pics to a photo bin or similar, that pretty rules out everything that's not already on my hard drive.

Use Photobucket ....


But according to another user [paraphrase]"Copying online pics is copyright infringement"

This is where my confusion comes in.

I know how to post pictures, my question is how can 'ANY' pictures be kosher? Without hotlinking, we're limited to, well, nothing.


And for the record, not every image online is copyrighted. Open source logos fall under GPL unless otherwise stated, everything on my sig is 100% copyright free.
