Thank you! If I don't put it under the right heading, I'm sorry, but it seems like every time I turn around something gets moved and it's annoying.....Thanks for uploding my avatar for me, E.

I think these guys are just trying to be sure your posts (mine, too) are in the place they'll most be appreciated. Sometimes we get so excited about our post, or I know I do, that we stick 'em in a thread or in a new thread where they might get overlooked.
And, yeah, your avatar doesn't appear to be corrected yet.

There are board descriptions on the main page. It's not hard to post things in the correct place. And, in fact, since this post is about how things work on this site, I'm moving it to the Tip Sheet. The description for the Tip Sheet clearly says: "Questions/Answers/Feedback/Support. Anything about this site (content, graphics, codes, posting, etc.)."And I could only see your avvy because I had saved it on my machine. Don't ask me how this works, but after I deleted it, I couldn't see it anymore. You need to re-upload it to tinypic.com or your own photobucket account. Hotlinking is uncool and often results in exceeded bandwidth. Hotlinking is described here: altlab.com/hotlinking.html

.:E:.....is what you taught me how to do on myspace considered hotlinking? Nope. That's just plain ole 'linking' with urls. Hotlinking is usually done with images, but any data that can be hosted on the web can be hotlinked... documents, music, etc. It's taking an image or other material from another site and directly linking that image from their website so it shows up on yours, without you actually hosting it yourself. Basically, hotlinking is using someone else's bandwidth without their permission. Photobucket, Imageshak, and other img/data hosting sites offer "legal hotlinking" if you want to think of it that way. When you upload a pic to Photobucket, the image is visible on the web because it's hosted on Photobucket's bandwidth. With their permission, you use their bandwidth to display your images on your websites. The problem is when lots of different people hotlink the exact same file all over the internet. Photobucket only allows you so much free bandwidth, so the more people who hotlink the image, the faster the bandwidth will get used up, resulting in the 'bandwidth exceeded' image being shown instead.
