fixi-my-wiki

We have created some "hotlinks" by accident and this is how to fix them. This usually happens because people think the "found a shortcut" to add an image to their page. It is a way to get gif photos, but they are linked to another site and they can tell. We are essentially stealing their bandwidth. Remember it is essential you get permission or find what you are looking for that has a creative commons license. (Note; This is assuming you are using Explorer as your browser. Firefox is similar, but you "view image location.")
