Call me Mr. Thickie if you must, but...

I down load mine onto photobucket then post them on the threads. It may be a long winded affair but it works for me.

Not always, it will often fail plus it isn't the preferred method.
We much prefer users to load the images into the Forum Gallery, that way we don't get broken links.

glsammy,
The method used by this web site to add other forum members images to illustrate a technique is not without its problems. As I did the last time, I added an image to the forum Gallery so I could copy and paste the bbcode into a reply. I then went to the page that I had added the picture to, to get the required code, and was surprised to see that an image (not owned by me) that I'd used to reply to Chris Johnstone has now been added to the 'View all of HowlinWolf's images' page.
I have posted the name of the owner of the Swan image in the comments box so as not to give the impression that I have added someone else's image to my collection and claimed it as my work. Have there been any objections to this happening, or am I the first to see the potential ramifications of such a device?

Regards,
HW

I've done the same thing a few times - normally with other members images that ive downloaded to work on then loaded back up - and i cant image anyone getting too bent out of shape so long as you had their permission to post the pic in the first place - of course if you didnt have their permission then it would probably be better not to post it anyway.

i also normally title the image "such an such" by "so and so" to avoid any abiguity

I would only ever do this to an image that was put up for critique, and also clearly mark that image as not my own when I upload it back after alteration.
I believe the only way an image can be regarded as yours is if you've uploaded it, not by simply copying the bbcode into a post, which would be the method I would use If I was using another members image as an example.
I'm certain no one here would ever try to claim someone elses image as their own, it would be a pointless and worthless exercise, and could soon be shown to be false.
Obviously anyone can copy any image from the site to their own computer if they wish, and if anyone has done that with mine, good luck to them! The resolution loaded here is good for one thing only, and that's to show a reasonable image on a computer screen. If anyone ever tried to print the images at any size they'd soon realise it's a waste of time. 800x600 pixels at 72 ppi doesn't show too well when printed.

I hope that clears any doubts.
