This is to inform everyone that if we staff find anyone hotlinking image from other sites, that thread will be immediately deleted and the action will be taken against the member without any notification and chances are there that the member will be banned. Hot-Linking Images in Forums: Since there are a few issues with hotlinking images from other sites- - Leeching: Everytime any member opens your Hotlinked thread - FE has to load the image from the parent site - so basically we are stealing their bandwidth every single time our members access your thread. While some sites allow this, others donot.
- Danger of Swapping: The original picture you Hotlink can be swapped or replaced by another inappropriate picture by the owner of the Image or the site you have hot-linked to, so instead of say the Uber cool scenery you wanted to show off, you might get another picture instead of it for example a Nude Picture on the page which you never intended to post as it is against the rules.
- Lastly, the page load times are affected and a few images cause the forum pages to be displayed incorrectly for a few members.

Host the images in the free imageshosting sites like
imageshack.us
imgx.org

If you are wondering why, well because direct leeching from some sites has the danger of the image being replaced with another image to prevent leeching. We faced this issue today. So as far as possible use free image hosts.

I have noticed some filmy sites don't mind hotlinking.
We have admin from filmicafe here and he hotlinks it himself.
Ragalahari, indiafm are some other sites that you "can" hotlink from.
Its always advisable however to upload to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting and hotlink from there.  |
