uargh photobucket

[askerian]

For anyone looking for my chibi icons -- I had to move them, the bandwidth got eaten surprisingly fast and I really don't want ALL of my pictures to disappear under that annoying "exceeded bandwidth limit" tag. still think it was eaten a bit fast... wonder if anyone's leeching.

So if you want a chibi icon... uh. I'm going to make a page on my site, I think. *ponders* So either you can wait for the page to be up, or you can wait until next month and i'll reupload them to the original urls, or you can leave me your email and i'll email them to you. (or just steal it from other people who have it; so long as you credit me it doesn't matter much where you got it from) But I think almost everyone who wanted one got it, right? *sigh*

*goes to make the page*


edit: ... so instead I made a page with all the free-for-the-taking icons I've ever made. warning, some of them are old and therefore suck.

I didn't know people could leech from the bandwidth! <~~Is computer illiterate *hopes it's not her* I grabbed the cuteness that is the 'No Hugs' pix. O.O I cant resist chibi Gaara :) Can't remember if I said Thanky though....So, thanky! *grins* Just curious when you put the curser over the chibi Icon can you see the little 'Thanks Asuka' sign?

[askerian]

hee! No, it's not you. Once you put it as your icon, it copies the pic on the livejournal server. But some people might be linking directly to some pics on my photobucket account. I can't be sure though -- lots of people came to see the chibis. ^^;

(and personally i can't see it, but then i can never see anything like that on my own LJ; my computer is retared that way. -__-;;; but thanks for putting it ^____^)

o_o .... *compy illiterate* ...um..what the crap is linking directly? i dunno if it's me. if it is, omg i didn't know.

[askerian]

XD; if you don't know enough to insert an image on your site or your Lj posts, then no, it's certainly not you.

Direct linking, or hotlinking, or leeching bandwidth, is. uh. *thinks*

If I upload a pic to my own site, and display it on my site, i'm not hotlinking it. But if someone else puts a tag in their entry that makes it so the pic I hosted on my site appears on their site, it's hotlinking -- basically it tells the computer that they should get the picture not from the site they're viewing but from mine. So this means that it's my bandwidth (the size of downloads and information transfers i'm allowed per month) that gets eaten every time someone visits their site and downloads the picture on their computer.

(of course uploading a copy of the pic on their own server fixes the hotlinking problem, but not the possible plagiarism problem.)

There are sites like photobucket that are made for hotlinking stuff -- like when you're on a forum or LJ, they only host the icons (and sometimes not even that much) so this means every other pic has to come from an outside site, and in these cases it's very practical. But photobucket is free, so they put a limit on them. And usually I never reach 60% percent of my bandwidth at the end of the month, but this month i'm already at 96% and there's still nine days to the end of the month and the reset of the bandwidth limits. So i'm a bit bummed. x_x

if this doesn't make sense i can explain more, but that's the extend of my knowledge, i'm afraid. x_x

(linking IE posting a link so other people might go and see themselves is not hotlinking, which actually makes the picture show up. i'm just fine with linking. ^^)

[animeprincess.livejournal.com]

OH! okay. *gets it!* so if i save the pic to my compy and then put it as an icon, it's not bad for the bandwidth? o_o

i think. um. anyway, i usually try to put a link, but have i ever put an actual pic up? ... uh. i don't think so. still sorta learning the stuff for putting stuff on LJ. buh. i gotta go to class now, and be unprepared cause i didn't do my work. buh. oh well.

crap, i wish i had more icon slots. damn LJ for screwing around with when accounts were made and having certain ones before the certain date have 6 slots. buh.

[askerian]

relax, if you upload it to use as an icon, it goes onto the livejournal servers and that's just the way it should be ^__^

also, if you don't know the html coding to insert an image, i doubt you could do it by accident. It's a lot more complicated to remember than copypaste. XD

*petpetsoothe* relax, hon, it's alright ^__^

can you believe that i can already see coming the day when 100 icons won't be enough? x_x

[animeprincess.livejournal.com]

waah, i want more than threeeeee. but i'm poor and i can't buy more space. buh.

*soothedpetted* ^^ okies. o.o i should make you some kinda fun icon. but then i require a scanner.... buh. i'll think of something.

*delurks for a moment to squeal about iconspace*

can you believe that i can already see coming the day when 100 icons won't be enough? x_x

I know what you mean. That's why I got a greatestjournal account, 'cause you're allowed up to 2000 icos for free~. >.>;

I only have about 400 uploaded currently but I'll get there someday!

They don't have that many good communities though. ;__; I just like hang around the icon awards. :P So... my twocents.

Erm, yeah... o.o;
