• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

Photobuckets question

Quickly before this question is locked for being off-topic, can anyone tell me what has to be done to display Photobucket images. I have downloaded Photobucket but all I get are advertisements when trying to display. I'm not using a regular computer but rather a Samsung tablet 4. Maybe I need to register someway in PB.
 
I just downloaded it on my Motorola Droid Turbo. There was a screen that wanted me to either set up an account or sign in. You do need an account with photobucket to use it. I signed in and it showed me all my pictures. I selected a picture and the share icon became visible. You select how you want to share it ( in this case "copy link to clipboard" then post the link in the forum) and proceed from there.
 
In PB your library click on the "railroad sleepers" in the thumbnail.
click on "SHARE"
A box pops up, click on "Direct" (it should say "Copied").
Shift/Tab over here.
Click on the yellow pic of a mountain at the top of the "reply to thread" dialog box.
Another dialog box pops up.
Hit {control} "V" the text appears in blue.
Hit {enter}.

Type the irritating "Images (c) *your handle here* {year of date taken}" to stop the copyright police deleting it.
 
Thanks; I'll look into it more closely. Wouldn't think you would have to establish an account in order to view photos posted by others.
 
Wogpotter,
The OP was talking about using an Android app to access photobucket. The process is slightly different than on the pc. The app requires you to sign in to your account. The web page on a computer does not just to look at someone elses pictures (those they mark as viewable publicly).

The question is being well answered by others, but I wanted to say your question is precisely the type of question that is allowed in this particular forum.
