Are we not even allowed to link to copyrighted photos?

P.S. proof it’s linked…

You can’t actually post the picture.  Only I link to the website where that picture is hosted.  Like this.

I did not upload the picture. As shown above it is an “img” link.  It’s just a feature of the forum software. The image never passes through ogaugerr.com servers.

The picture is there so you will need to go to your post after you have linked it.  If there is no picture and only the link, all is well but if you can see the picture, you need to delete your post.  I have deleted your picture that is showing up.  Sometimes it has to do with how you have linked it.  Sometimes you have to link to the page where the picture is located rather than the picture itself.

Ryan,

We had several forum members including our moderators that could immediately see the picture without clicking on the link.  The point is however you "link" it, if the picture is seen immediately then we are not going to take the chance that a copyright BOT is going to see it and then make a case against us.  Just find a way to link a copyrighted picture so that only the link shows when folks see it.  They can then click on that link to see what you are trying to show them.
