| | Posted: | | | | Hi,
I noticed the cast photo of "Jack Barry" is actually a picture of "Jim Lange". Previously, I've tried to find out the best way to make corrections by searching the forums but just ended up making the change locally and then locking it.
I'd like to make others aware of the error.
Help, please.

| | Posted: | | | | I f you have a correct photo of Jack Barry and want to share it, the best is to post it here. If you do not have any correct photo of Jack Barry, you should put such an image to avoid to get once again Jim Lange's headshot with a future update:  if you just lock the profile, this will have no effect with a headshots backup file. | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

... Posting the mistake in the above thread is also always helpful for the other users. |

| | Posted: | | | | Now be a good time to ask this: I've made so-oo--o-o many corrections for misplaced photos in MY data over the past I've always felt that there is no way I could ever update to the newest headshot version as it would ''wipe out'' all may changes and replace the same ones over again..

| | Posted: | | | | Hi,
I've located, what I believe to be, an acceptable photo of Jack Barry.
I'm not sure of the best way to post it to the link suggested.
I have personal web space and I could put it there and provide a link to it but is this the best way?

| | Posted: | | | | You can post the direct link but net etiquette suggests that you don't post it as an image (hot link) unless it's on your personal servers or on a photo hosting service. |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi,
I followed the link provided but mistakenly (I think) selected "New Topic" instead of "Post Reply".
I"m not clear as to what a "direct link" or a "hot link" is. The only option I saw was to provide a URL. I don't have a personal server and am not a member of any image hosting service. I uploaded the picture to the web space provided by my ISP and linked to that.
This sounds like a "direct link" which is in some way inappropriate. Please clarify.

| | Posted: | | | | Okay, say you come across a photo on the web, like here, which is hosted on my personal web server.  You think the photo is funny and you want to share with friends. You have a few options: 1. Slightly Net Polite way - Share the direct URL to the photo: http://strangejourney.net/misc/main.php/d/5731-3/WomenDrivers_001.jpg 2. More Net Polite way - Save the image and upload to your personal web server and either share the direct URL or display the image like above. 3. Net Impolite way - Display the image like above using my URL. This is known as bandwidth stealing because you're using the photo for your own use but the photo is from my web server so you're using my bandwidth for your purposes. It's not uncommon for web servers to be configured to refuse serving images unless they're being request from their own servers. |

| | Posted: | | | | Okay then.
Except for posting as a "New Topic" it seems that I did it the preferred way.
Thanks for the clarification.
