    Default Hotlinking images

    Is there a trick to it?

    I think they disabled it. They had a problem with Watermark uploading NSFW images of his Waifu girlfriend pillow cases.

    We actually took up a collection to buy him a hooker to get him to stop but Watermark declined our offer on the basis he might have to talk to her.

    One of those body pillow things? I use a body pillow myself, by scrunching it up against the wall in winter. Keeps it from getting drafty. I'd have something geeky on it though, to fit with my collectables. Those pervy pillow gals are just creepy, and sad though.

    How then do you embed a full sized image or gif instead of a thumbnail?

    It's odd that they disabled hotlinking, when the rules say it's preferred over uploading.

    I've failed to get a large gif going myself.

    Boomers may be incapable of such a mundane task.
