Embedded images in threads

[mudder]

G'day,
OK, my hand's up for a really dumb question...

When embedding an image in a thread, does the image data actually get pasted into the thread or is it just a transparent link to the originating address... By that I mean, if an image is embedded and later removed from the originating web address, does that screw up the image previously embedded? Strewth, I hope you know what I mean...

Mudder - if you post a pic on pixspot then embed it in a thread on this forum the removal of the pic on pixspot will leave a little box on the thread without a pic. So I would guess it is linked to the original

I think I know what you mean Mudder. Go to this thread:

http://forum.d70users.com/viewtopic.php?t=1600

which was a pic that was hosted on pixspot before it died and I never got around to putting it back when pixspot was fixed. You'll just see the red X but if you right click on it and go to properties, it shows the original address. Hope that helps.

John.

Thanks that explains it... Also explains why I occasionally see them about the place, doh, shoulda realised...

I'll put my hands down now...

Cheers and thanks...
