from a data integrity standpoint, I am & have always been 100% behind the superior business model here at signs101, whereby our important archives have the integrity they do today because of not allowing offsite images, or hot linking...

but the quote above contains a link to an offsite URL... something done in threads here everyday, and something that could become a broken link tomorrow...

if people are out on an installation & want to say "hey S101 buds... check this bitchin' install I just knocked out"... well, I don't think it's really the end of the world if we provide a link to see that image.. because it's still just a "link" just like your link!...

Now, if people start posting earth shattering new developments in sign technology, or impressive step-by-step demos and tutorials & providing links to offsite content, of course that compromises the archives for everyone, including the next generation... and of course I don't support that any more then you do...I just don't think I've ever been aware of limitations to the links we are allowed to post, except pertaining to self promotion... and that's really why I'm posting...

are there rules against links that I am not aware of?

I guess the difference is that images are something we can take responsibility for and website links are not. The rest of the story is that everytime an offsite image appears it gets determined by x number of members that this kind of image handling is permitted at Signs 101 ... making more work for Stacy, Bradster and myself converting it to an attachment.

I just installed it and it should be working Tim. Give it a try.
