Pull Switch for Ceiling fan please ?

photobucket provide 4 (customisable) links for all photos, in order that they can be hotlinked to forums and web pages, as well as a pure clickable web link. I think their policy is they encourage it!

What's Photobucket's position on hot-linking? It'll eat their bandwidth just as it would that of the original site where you found the photo. And as a photo-hosting board I imagine that they'll be particularly sensitive to the problems of hot-linking.

They don't consider it a problem, as that's their business model, and indeed, they encourage hot-linking by telling you what code to embed.

And talking of the original site, what about the fact that by doing what you did you have taken possibly copyrighted material and appropriated it for your own use?

On the forum sites I was thinking of, the only acceptable way to refer to a copyrighted picture on another site was to provide a link to that site.

Do they really encourage hot-linking to the full-sized images?

Or do they provide code which creates click-enabled thumbnails, and those are what you're supposed to use?

i.e. they prefer you to insert

[ URL=<link to page on photo hosting site>][ IMG]<URL of thumbnail image>[ /IMG][ /URL]

not

[ IMG]<URL of full-sized image>[ /IMG]

?

Apologies for thinking I was replying to Furkin when I wrote "doing what you did".

I hate leaving the old lady without a light,,,,, so the sooner the better

If the whole fan is controlled by a wall-switch anyway, why not just connect the two switch wires together (for now).

ban, they provide all the links that you have referred to there, as standard - they dont care. Users can customise this to provide different types of links.

Fairynuff - not all hosting sites are equally happy, ImageShack for example.
