Let me start by saying I dont know exactly if this is the right forum, I was looking for something with "Technical" in it :D
Because Im a friendly guy, I try to help the new peeps out here, U know the ones who has "red X:s" on their pics...
However, Im getting a bit tired of it, and Im wondering if there couldnt be made some sort of guide to avoid "red-x". I know I had a heck of a time getting past this.
I need the help of other friendlies to report back which webproviders allow / dont allow directlinking (in short - which ones work, dont work), IŽll start of directly:
www.passagen.se (free webhost, Sweden) - dont work
www.home.se (free webhost, sweden) - WORKS
The actual tutorial text would go something this:
Oooops, U got a "red-X", that means noone else can see your image. The imagelink isnt working - U see it on your computor (I dunno exactly the technical stuff) I guess its already in your cache or something. Me - I need to right-click, show image and copy / paste the image link :(
This is probably because the iwebhost where U got the actual image dont support something called "directlinking". The only real longtime solution to this is getting a webhost who allows it...
Hopefully a list will be available shortly... :D
