Avatars Redux: Hotlinking

I was contacted recently by a site owner who'd had one of his avatar images hotlinked by a member here, which was running up his bandwidth unnecessarily. Please be sure when setting up your avatar that you only link to images hosted on your own web properties or services you've contracted for, or that you have the permission of the site owner in question prior to hotlinking. It's considered poor netiquette to hotlink other people's images as you end up using their bandwidth without their permission and they end up paying for it.

As always, I continue to extend an open offer to host avatar images if you have absolutely no way to host them yourself. Feel free to PM or email me via the board if you would like me to host your avatar for you.

Thanks for your help!

If people would search google there are plenty of free hosting sites for images.

I can tell you. Unfortunately not, it is bigger than 100x100 pixels. (and probably over 20kb too)

Should be OK, don't know what size it is, but it's within the size boundaries.

At 150 X 120 pixels, it is still too large. Per Unfiction's rules, avatars must be no larger than 100 X 100. You should be able to resize it in anything from MS Paint to Adobe Photoshop.

Thank you for asking. Smile

For that matter, oliverkeers13, your avatar does not fit within the specified permitted size either, being 113 pixels in height.
