The photograph in the leading post is  taken from an outside source by way of inserting a direct HTML link into the post.

This is prohibited, quite simply as this is one of the simplest ways to infect a website and these Forums, by linking such graphic files from an outside source that the poster has no control over.

Such practices can infect a website and even the computers of people who view such graphic files, with viruses and Malware.

I will not permit this practice to continue and every time I discover a photograph that has been uploaded in this manner, it will be immediately deleted.

I have to protect this website and these Forums at all times and I will not allow anyone to endanger 15 years of work and history.

NO MORE links to photographs on uncontrolled outside websites are allowed.

This does not apply however to Photobucket and/or Flickr sourced graphics or any other such individual controlled website.


This is a post with a photograph and no story content - Unacceptable

The size of the original photograph was beyond acceptable sizing as previously requested and stated many times throughout this Forum.

There is separate Section within these forums specifically headed "ALL photographs and Video Shots etc" and this photograph was NOT posted therein.

I just wish that people would read the dammed advice that is provided throughout this site as you have no idea just how bloody annoyed I get when I find posts that are made that are totally contrary to the advice that I provide.

Malcolm.
