Hi Steve,
No, the images by themselves don’t have the affiliate code attached. That’s why I was concerned about bandwidth leeching. The affiliate code is something that is added to the anchor tags when you make the image into a link on the webpage. i.e., the affiliate code is only associated with the image when you put it between the and anchor tags.
HAH! :laugh: Well, you could, but I think everyone here is respectful of this sort of thing. Hopefully it won’t become a problem for me. I mean, really, you could use anyone’s banners if you wanted to, because presumably everyone else has hot-linking disabled as well.
I suppose if it becomes a serious problem, if someone starts leeching major amounts of bandwidth, then I’ll have to look into a way to put an end to it. Two options I can think of right now would be to (1) Disable hot-linking again, or (2) Find a way to block certain IP addresses from accessing the images.
There should be a button below each person’s post that says “Quote.” If you click that, then it should automatically put the person’s entire post inside the quote tags. If you do it manually, then to begin a quote, type [qu*te] before the passage being quoted (change the * to the letter O), and type [/qu*te] at the end of the passage. To specify which person you’re quoting, for the opening quote, type [qu*te=Engineer] to refer to me, or [qu*te=Professor] to refer to the Professor, etc. The end tag of [/qu*te] remains the same either way.
