Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Photo upload test

    Hey hawk, just a test as requested mate.

    Here is a link to the photo Shared album - Google user - Google Photos

    and here is me attempting to post the image.



    This happens with tinypic, google photos and flickr. Never had these issues prior

    Ahhh Google photos. as far as I know you can't hot link to google photos at all. The funky script will attempt to copy the image but will fail simply because it doesn't work.

    (NOTE: I have manually fixed the one above)

    Have you ever seen google photo links work on other forums?

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

      TBH now that you mention it I cant say I have seen others using it.

      I'll try upload with a few others to try it out.

      Shutterfly


      Flickr


      Tinypic


      Ctrlq


      Ctrlq works, but it always cuts the image

        Sadly, neither of those two work. Try using the vwwatercooled one instead:
        VWWatercooled Images < -

        Can I hotlink images to another website? Can I link an image on Shutterfly to another website?
        Unfortunately Shutterfly does not currently offer a way for customers to link images from their Shutterfly account to another website (like eBay, match.com, blackplanet).

        Per our terms and conditions, Shutterfly does not allow customers to "hotlink" images from Shutterfly to a third party website. Due to an increasing number of people doing this, we had to disable this ability on our site. Please note that the images are still in your Shutterfly account, however the external links to images are no longer valid.
        Source: Hotlinking Images

        Flickr is much the same:
        You cannot use Flickr to host pictures for an external website unless you link each image used back to its Flickr photopage.

        If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

          I didn't realise there was a watercooled one to be used. I will give it a try this afternoon mate, thanks again for all your help
