Please post any and all photos from Smallville or related to our main actors, however, please DO NOT hotlink or "snag" to other sites, that is rude and steals those site's bandwidth.
What does that mean?
Bandwidth Definition:
Inline linking is the placing of a linked object, often an image, from one site into a web page belonging to a second site. The second site is said to have an inline link to the site where the object is located. Inline linking is also known as hotlinking, leeching, direct linking or bandwidth theft.
The easiest way to understand bandwidth is think of it like the gas you put in the car, if you go at a steady 55mph you'll use the right amount of gas, if someone suddenly starts making the car go faster w/o your knowing, turns on the AC, the radio, etc - it'll use more gas faster. That happens when people just snatch image urls and - upload them elsewhere. You're eating up the "On air" time that particular website has and will force the owners to pay more money. We want to be nice - so NO HOTLINKING!
Don't know what to do then? Find the picture, right click on it, select "save target as" and upload it into your own hosting service, do not copy the URL of the piece and use it. Every time someone does that on images that are hosted it steals bandwidth.
Here are some places you can register at for free to upload your pictures:
IMAGEBAM
Photobucket
Imageshack Popular site to use.
If you don't understand this feel free to email me and I'll happily explain it to you further.
