Some pics depending where they have been hosted from and other dependencies, may not stay on the boards very long. I am seeing that here, with some posts from members, which they do have the image tags and the http address inserted in the tags but your image has disappeared.
If you have posted your own pic on any particular post and have since seen that that the pic has changed and Farmer or myself have shown an edit on your post. It is not because we changed the pic on you
No
It was because the pic had dissappeared.
But if you use the edit function on your own post, you will see your tagged http site which hosts the image is still there, but does not show the image anymore.
Some host sites will do this. The pic can be copied and posted here and seen at first, but once the image is seen to be being used outside of allowances, then it gets blocked at the hosting site (which in that case is not a host site at all) ... lol
An example of this is any image copied from roadsideamerica.com and there are others too.
Them images will at first seem okay, but they do disappear after a short time.... Due to copyright or etc...
We try using images that are small in byte or KB size too.
That's not to say that an image which is small in size, is also small in KB size. . A very large image can be smaller in KB size then a very small image.
Things like compression and other things determine the size in bytes or KBs.
Right click on any image here and then click on Image Info
There is where you will see the size in KBs or bytes. Compare a few here as to small and big as per viewed and also in KB size.
There are some on the web that can get as high as 3000 KBs or more, for an image that can be copied and pasted.
I try to use images less then 100 KB to save on bandwidth and page loading speeds... but that is not always the case
The more large sizeed (KB) pics on a pag,e then the longer it takes to load the page and also is using extra bandwidth.
Remember that the overall size of the viewed image (how much room it takes on the post) does not determine the KB size.
ANyway I just started this post to explain why some pics that members had posted have since disappeared and replaced another pic from a staff member , like myself (as seen thru the Edit notification).
Only because of the source host is why they disappeared.
Luv them pics, so keep posting them if you can. The smaller sized image in KBs are the beans
Thnx
