Is using the [ attach] tag considered hotlinking?

[OldiesLover]

Is using the [ attach] tag considered hotlinking?

We are referring to images made into thumbnails as opposed to pasted into the message box. Tags are a seperate thing, if I'm reading your question correctly.

[xater]

This (http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?p=796455#post796455) is hotlinking an image by using [img]adress of the full size image[/ img]



Here, (http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?p=778674#post778674) the attach tag is used, so it uses the thumbnail within the message.

At least in my monitor -1024x768-, using the attach tag looks better as it allows 5 pics in the same row if there are 1 or 2 horizontal pics without breaking into the next row - because the attach box has a margin-. And it also allows the poster to control the layout. I dunno if it takes away extra resources, though.

:puzzled:

[Candyman]

I wasn't aware of the attach function. Below is my sample output.

Since the attach BB code only works internally, maybe that should be the rule for threads that do receive exceptions.

Ohhh... I think I see what you're getting at. When you say Tags, I immediately think Search Tags. Sorry about that.

Our main issue with Internal Image Hotlinks is visual esthetics. We like a consistent even line-up of Replys for example, let alone avoiding monster sized images and such.

The example you used is, is far as I remember, our only main Exception, because colourwheel (Who's a POWER USER by the way.) is very consistent and clean in her execution within her Threads.

If you feel you have a Thread idea where Internal Images Hotlinks would visually look better than Thumbnails, simply explain your concept here, and we'll look at it.


Oh yes, scanlover tells us that Server Resources aren't an issue here. Internal Image Hotlinks don't really drain the system.

Our objective is purely visual cleanliness.

For instance, here (http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?p=711053#post711053) I didn't post the pics again, just used roUK-z's pics from Hana's thread. Speaking of Hana (http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?p=732035#post732035) that's how I used to post -until I saw this sticky-, maybe it is just my style, but I mostly feel that pics should go first and then the comments -if any- :dunno:

Your images are nice and neat. Unfortunately, most Users wouldn't be so consistent, and we'd end up with images and margins all over the place without our Internal Image Hotlink guidelines in place.

Honestly, I didn't know that internal image hotlinking isn't accepted anymore.

I have a question: how to get a bigger image preview (similar to Glowfoto) using an SLF attachment system?

[SURYA]

I upload and update very often, attachment is very difficult for me. I use only imagevenue and pornimghost.
Yes! I'm in the same situation I started to upload pictures to SL, from always I've watched the pics how upload from the HD but I couldn't so I use imagevenue and when I do click appear a picture (window) publicity so I hope no to be wrong in the rules.

[matrix_07]

Hi,

I have a problem. Since I live in country that supposedly blocked by SLF it make it very difficult to use this great site. Although I can get by by connecting through proxy I still can't do a lot of things: can not bold text, can not put smilies into posts for example, esp. can not attach pictures. That's why sometimes I just won't bother to post things that need to attach picture for clearer message. If anyone can help me use this function I'd be very much appreciated.

Load OK here too. The animation wasn't loaded when I open the page and that's probably why. It's loaded when I click on it.

That's the way it's intendet. Users with small connections do not want to be annoyed by loading 6mb+ animations just for opening a thread, so I decided to always only hotlink the preview to keep traffic to a minimum and still make animations available to anyone who'd like to have them in my posts.

I wanted to inform you Staff members, that I just posted another gif the same way as the one before in previous mentioned thread here (http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?p=912869&posted=1#post912869).

What about crossposting attachment links with thumbnails? For example, RJH tongue images from here (http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?t=33547) to here (http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?p=951061). I ask because otherwise I'd upload things already on the site. As far as aesthetic goes, it'd look the same (using thumbnails) but with 1 post instead of several consecutive posts.

[Ninespiral]

Well, erm..

Someone asked for screencaps to come with the posted torrents:
http://forum.scanlover.com/showpost.php?p=1010167&postcount=432

I think it should be done for the less-well-informed amongst us (i.e. those who don't know the actresses' names, or where to look for more info..)

The problem is, the torrent creators usually put their screencaps in hotlinks..

Example here:
http://c553d60d.tnabucks.com/
(Screencap for THDD-017 torrent)

It takes too long to get 1, let alone 8 or 9 (average number of torrents I post a day)..

So may I request that I post the links to the screencaps instead of downloading them and then attaching them??

In a way, it also supports the torrent creators..

I know this is a pain, and I understand your difficulty. Usually, we would have approved your request, considering that you are one of the major contributors in here. But sorry to say, the answer is NO.

It's not your fault. The problem is on that hotlink itself. I am not sure if you still remember this. We have banned the cashlink since long time ago due to popup issue. As the matter of fact, I got 2 pop-ups from clicking on that link just now. Also, we don't like the idea of letting people to use our forum as a platform to earn money via their cashlink. And yes, the LinkBuck is one of them.

I know you are not the one who created that linkbuck, but rules are rules. We can't allowed for cashlink, eventhough it's forwarded from other places.

The bottom line in here is that if you can post the hotlink which is not a cashlink and pop-up free, then we may allow it. If it's cashlink, then we have no choice but to reject your request

Hope you can understand.

[Ninespiral]

No problem at all..

Too much of a hassle either way..

I'll just keep to what I've been doing..

There's just one guy complaining anyway..

[Astaroth-kun]

I just wanted to let you know, that I posted a gif, the usual way here: http://forum.scanlover.com/showthread.php?p=1011638#post1011638
I found out about the scanlover image server and will post any gif larger than 5mb that way in the future, but this one is only 4mb in size.

I hate that thread format... everytime i go into it... it starts to load big huge pictures... my screen wont stop bouncing around for 5 minutes as it tries to load in 100 pics. It reminds me of bananaboy's thread. So much wasted bandwidth. I used to think big pictures were okay, but the more i use SLF, the more I like it compact and neat. I only use a big pic for emphasis, as a one off exception.

Gomen. If I had it my way, I would just kill all the extra pictures... you already have the covers below. Like I said, I have done searches that hit that thread and my screen keeps adjusting up and down. Sorry Avel.

I'm aware of the issues. However, the links in the thread kept being deleted quickly since we have a sneaky file reporter reported all our files. With that, the posts became useless quickly and I don't wanna waste SLF pics attachments storage. It usually just takes a few minutes to load the pics and when it's finished loading, the pics won't be loading anymore when you revisit the thread.

[Teddy]

If that's the case, Avel, I wouldn't mind it, if your files keep getting deleted. Maybe get a second opinion from a veteran Staff Member.

Hi,

I've noticed that the models posted in the Beauty Boutique are mostly Japanese and some Koreans. I'd like to start a thread with more Chinese models but due to my large collection and daily update, the attachment system here would be a pain to use. So I'd like your permissions to use hotlink. Here are some details of what I am going to do:
1. I'm going to use imagehyper to host my images
2. I'll post the thumbnails of the images with 5 thumbs per row to keep the thread look tidy
3. Name of model (if known) will be included in the title

The thread's gonna look something like this here:

Hi,

I recently started using content-cooperation.com to upload my files because they provide an automated BBcode with file info, download-link, cover image, 4 200x112px (thumbnail-)screenshots and a 400x264px video thumbnail all automatically created and neatly arranged without me having to do anything. Images are automatically hosted on photosex.biz so all I have to do is upload the file, create a description and upload the DVD cover, then copy&paste the BBcode into the forums. Here (http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1871708#post1871708) and here (http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1871755#post1871755) are examples of the layout. As you can see it's always the same so it'd be in line with the forum's nice-and-clean-policy. :D

Could I please get an exception for my threads (or should I keep it to a single thread?) to use this imagehost?


Thank you for your time. :)

[Doctor_Gonzo]

Hello Mods & Admins,

Following up a private request I sent out and throwing this into the Court of Public Feedback as well.

Previously I posted in the FTP section, but lost over 3,000 files I uploaded over the last year because some clown filed a phoney DMCA complaint on 2 files. Regardless, if I'm going to continue sharing, which is what I enjoy, I need to do it via thumbnail galleries.

I have a dilemma going: I have an absolutely massive collection of primarily Japanese models I've collected over the last 14 years and I'm very interested in sharing it here. It is not at all feasible for me to sit and upload 5 images at a time, when some models in my collection literally have 3-4,000 images. I'm asking for permission to post threads of the different models in appropriate sections, but I need to use an outside image host that allows me to do bulk zip (or bulk selection) uploads of at least 100 images at a time . . . otherwise I'd never get any work done.

My preference is ImageBam as I've used them for years and to my knowledge have never deleted a file. They provide auto BB-Code and 3 options for thumbnail sizes for very neat postings. I believe they have one popup the first time you open a link (Basically, "This is an adult image, Enter or Leave), they hit you with one ad, and then there are none after that. And no, the good Doctor doesn't make a dime off it.

Bottom line in order to share what I have here I need to use ImageBam or something similar with a bulk upload option. Any way we can make this work?

Ok for now,
Doc

[sophie]

can anyone explain to me why we have to upload images to the forum instead of posting links to free imagehosts such as imagebam etc? Surely this forum is about appreciating the beauty of Asian girls? Allowing only 5 images at a time makes it extremely cumbersome and time consuming to post large numbers of images. I have so much I want to share here, but I am really put off by having to post just five at a time - it is so slow and tedious! The only reason I have seen so far is "to keep the forum tidy" Is this really more important than having lots of great images (surely the purpose of the site)!!

And we have also been told that SLF is running out of storage space - surely this is even more reason to permit imagehosts? That would solve the problem overnight.

I love this forum, but this five image limit just seems perverse, crazy and counter productive to me

[sockmuncher]

its like having somebody else sell your drugs. when they get busted it comes back to you. im dont care much for the 5 uploads at a time either but thats the rule here and its for some type of reason that makes sense for the mods.

plus your imagebam and others are crap and im dont even allow my browser to be redirected to these places because of that.

also im would have like 12 posts if it were not for the 5 count limit =P.

This question has been asked way too many times in the past. It messes up the forum lay out, page loads slowly because of outside link .. etc. And yes, it's the forum rule.

I could have said 'Follow the damn rules". But today I will be nice and explain those details to you regarding why we force people to use attachment.

1. When you use free imagehosts, they will be expired soon or later. Will you reupload the whole thing if we request you to do so? Perhaps you will. But I don't think most of the other contributors would bother to reupload their stuff due to time constraints.

2. Pop-up ads and some suspicious malwares came along with the free imagehosts. Most people don't like to see it and they certainly do not want to be infected by trojans and worms. Of course, you may suggest them to install antivirus, cc cleaner, adblocks, etc etc. But if you have to install those before you can enjoy the forum, then I am sure most people would not have wanted to register to the forum in the first place.

3. Some contributors don't consider to post their images in thumbnail format when they are using free imagehosts. Now that's a problem. People do not want their browser speed occupied with the large images which loading in bulky amount and slow speed. If they want to see the large images, they can click the thumbnails. Therefore, we force people to use the attachments becoz we want those pics to be shown in thumbnail format.


Of course, you may say that you will find some free imagehosts that don't have the issues above. You may promise that you will post them in thumbnail format and you will arrange those images in proper and tidy condition. However, you cannot guarantee that other contributors will follow you.

Thats' why this thread was created. For people who can make such a promise, welcome to send your application in here. We will evaluate your examples and your contributions. Once we approved, you will have to keep your promise. Once we find out that you can't keep your promise, then we will take away your privillege on posting the free imagehosts.

And also, don't worry about SLF is running out of storage space. We would clean up the old stuff once in a while. And sometimes, scanlover would buy extra space and bandwidth to support the extra volume of stuff, with the helps of SLF donators.

Seriously, where can you find such a place where the staff would consider and take care of your concerns all the time?

[jslf]

Of course, you may say that you will find some free imagehosts that don't have the issues above.Today.

The imagehost that doesn't have those issues today may have them tomorrow. They can and do change over time how they present themselves via ads, pop-ups or what-have-you. :bingo:

Just wanted to toss that thought into the ring... :)

[sophie]

ok, thanks everyone. Just thought it was worth asking. I shall (of course!) stick to the rules.

And also, don't worry about SLF is running out of storage space. We would clean up the old stuff once in a while. And sometimes, scanlover would buy extra space and bandwidth to support the extra volume of stuff, with the helps of SLF donators.




Ah.. so there is the possibility I could get an exemption? I would certainly always use thumbnails (never occurred to me not to!). So what do I have to promise (apart from always using thumbs)? Is imagevenue or imagebam ok? Do I post my sample posts in the relevant forum then link to them in this thread for approval?


Seriously, where can you find such a place where the staff would consider and take care of your concerns all the time?


Absolutely! Thank you!

Refering to the criterias Oldies has mentioned in the 1st post:

AFAIK, you are a pics contributor, right? Then I am sorry to say that your request will not be approved. The exemption is applicable only to torrent and video DDL section.

Yes, I am a pics contributor. I have a vast amount of Sugiura Norio bondage material.

Oh well.. I tried. :(

Thanks

Just do ten posts per day. That's 50 images. One year, you'll have 18,250 images loaded, and fully stable. Do you have more than 18,000 images?

[erinys]

Look at it this way. If you have 500 images to post, that's 100 posts. So you have to make all those posts, but 100 is enough to get regular member status. If you post 5,000 images, which requires 1,000 posts, you're looking at power user status. It's a lot of work but it's worth the effort. Better than posting 5,000 links to some image hosting site in one or two posts.

Also, many image host sites block hotlinking so the image will say "no hotlinking". If the site goes down or they delete your account because of copyright reports, the thread is full of "account has been deleted" images, which is no good. At least having the images directly on the forum's server means the forum has more control over them. Idiots making malicious reports? Forum staff aren't stupid like other sites... they don't delete stuff without evidence that it's copyrighted. They only delete content when models request it be deleted or there is a genuine DMCA copyright legal notice.

Also, pay & go mobile phone and dongle users pay for every megabyte they download so it's better when we can see small thumbnails and click to enlarge images that we like instead of having to download all the full size versions.

It's ok. I have accepted this now.

Just a couple of specifics arising from your post
power user status. It's a lot of work but it's worth the effort.

What does power user status mean? (i.e. Why is it worth getting?)

Why would you have to download all the full size versions? Image hosts don't work like that. They post a thumbnail linked to a fullsized version, just like here. Thumbnails are usually at selectable sizes too (e.g. 100 px,150 px, 180 px etc). Where did you get the idea that imagehosts only do full size versions?

I'll tell you the other annoying thing about posting here, you have to include some text with your posts. So if you are posting a series of images in several posts, you have to come up with some arbitrary and meaningless text just to satisfy this condition. So people have to put stuff like "more." "more..." "more....." Seem a bit unnecessary to make text mandatory.

Most Users who reach 1,000 Posts are admitted into POWER USERS. However, if a POWER USER becomes inactive, they are removed.

If one goes through the necessary hoops to reach 1,000 Posts, then we wish to use their expertise to benefit the whole Forum.

There are almost no individual rewards for becoming a POWER USER. We are not Scanlovers for selfish perks and self-interest gains.

POWER USERS are part of the decision-making apparatus for our Forum along with assisting STAFFwith many functions.

POWER USERS have the immediate attention (As much as possible.) of STAFF whenever needed. STAFF considers them... Cream Of The Crop of Users.

POWER USERS are typically the pool of experts we look to when it comes time to recruit STAFF and/or need help with Forum projects.

POWER USER is typically the first step for Users moving towards being a serious and fully productive member of the Forum. If you watch who's online index at the bottom of your Index Page, you will usually see a number of POWER USERS watching over things while working hard to build the Forum for all to enjoy.

Obviously, we have not built this Forum for total ease and convenience... with all sorts of creature comforts.

We've built this Forum as a working community of fanatics. We have members with thousands of posts and thousands of hours working to build this into one of the largest, most productive, best organized and most innovative Asian Forums on the Internet today. We are also the most enduring. Many of our top members have been in here for many many years.

Our methodology produces the best members with unbelievable loyalty without many of the hassles found in other forums.

As far as the text issue you mentioned, it pushes Users into saying something about their material. Not all bad in building an informative Forum.

Ok. I accept all you say. And (for the avoidance of doubt!) I do think it is an excellent forum and I plan to stay and contribute.

Thanks for your time explaining :)

Sure. We have a number of your fellow Englishmen in here. Enjoy.

I wasn't aware of the attach function. Below is my sample output.

Since the attach BB code only works internally, maybe that should be the rule for threads that do receive exceptions. :puzzled:
