<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3637703, member: 112&quot;]Guys, you&#039;ve probably noticed the editing and removal of certain pictures from this thread. I had to do that because of copyright. I don&#039;t like doing it. And no, I don&#039;t just go searching the forum for pictures being posted that violate copyright law. But when I happen to come across such incidents by chance, (as I did here) then it&#039;s necessary that I remove pictures, and or text, that violates copyright.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the same time I also realize that CT members would be lost if they couldn&#039;t post pics that are protected by copyright in the course of discussion. But there is a legal way to do it, and it&#039;s actually easy. I&#039;ve explained this many times in various sections of the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to use somebody else&#039;s picture, simply link to it by using the Image icon in the toolbar. Do not post screen shots, do not copy and paste the pic, do not download, save, and then post the pic - simply link to it ! </p><p><br /></p><p>When you find a pic you want to post, simply place your cursor over the image, right click and select - Copy Image Address. Then, in your posting box, assuming you are at the place in your post where you want to post the pic, click on the Image icon in the toolbar (it&#039;s the one to the immediate right of the smiley face). When you click on it this is what you will see - </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]976275[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Then place your cursor on the text line, right click and select Paste. That will put the url for the url for the image on the text line. Then click on the Insert button. That&#039;s all there is to it. It takes all of about 2 seconds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doing it this way does not violate copyright because you have only linked to the image at its original location. That&#039;s one of the reasons why that Image icon is there - so that members may post protected images and not violate copyright. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please, all of you follow my directions and utilize this method of posting pics that do not belong to you ! And please tell everybody else to do things this way !</p><p><br /></p><p>All of your posts will look just like they usually do, this method will not alter anything in appearance. And it&#039;s perfectly legal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Doug[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
