Tech question for site....

Didn't know where else to post this.....

I've been having recent issues posting using the thread windows for posting links, or IMG attachments (so you can see the pic). I was able to last night and then it stopped working. Have my permissions been removed or something?

A bit dumb I know but still annoying....

Figured it out....

One of the requirements for the IMG tags is that the image not be hotlink or password protected. If the image you're trying to link is in your temprary internet files/cache, it will show up for you but not for others. As soon as you browser resets/clears the cache, the image quits showing up for you as well.

Also many sites don't invoke hotlink blocking until it become a bandwidth problem -- a hundred views or so in most cases, which can take all of ten or twenty seconds here at Lit -- so some images link OK for a few miniutes and then stop showing.
