This is even more wild. The picture above is not the same one I posted at 5 am. Since I copied it straight off a web site it must update itself???

Because it is a direct link to a picture on a site it will update whenever they update. All you are doing is calling that picture to be displayed. Additionally, if they delete the picture it will disappear.

So, if you do not the image to change or disappear then you should use a picture storage site like Photobucket to save the image. Then as long as you dont delete it, it will stay the same.

Yes. Unless you find one that doesnt update.

So if you want the picture to stay static you should save it, upload it to photobucket and then post it.
 
This new board is just like JD gave a us a big 'ol Christmas present. Probably not real fun for him or the moderators, but real fun for us!

Is there any drawbacks to simply copying and pasting photos versus uploading to photobucket?


The main drawback is...if the site you copied it from deletes it then it will be gone from the post. Or if the site updates the picture but uses the same file name it will update the picture (this is what happens to images on the NCN).

Same thing as using Photobucket. If you delete it from your profile it will not show up on the post. However the picture is static and will never update because you uploaded it.
