    Access to photos hosted by TheGSResources.com

    I recently tried to post some pictures that are hosted in my GSR photo album onto another site. This is the post. You will see that members of xs650 say they can not see the image in the post. It is a URL link back to my photoalbum in GSR.

    Grounds So Important: A Single Point Grounding (SPG) Approach
    http://www.xs650.com/forum/showpost.php?p=419714&postcount=3
    There have been some recent interest in things electrical, and in fact some threads on a somewhat mysterious subject known as Grounding. Actually the broader subject is Power and Grounding, the study and art of how to distribute electrical power within your bikes electrical system and then get...


    I assume it shows up for everyone here; is there a GSR block on external references to photos hosted at the GSR? If so I will probably stop using the GSR to host pictures.

      I imagine its an issue with the log pass information being required to access the pics.
      Yeah hosting pics here is silly anyway.

        Yup. In fact, I believe that non-members can't even see the photos in the threads...I just tried after logging outl, nothing in the way of images showing up in the threads

                I guess the policy is a 1/2 way means to incentify non-members to sign up to 'see the pictures" where as they can see the posts without being a member.

                I have seen this on a lot of other sites.

                  It alos protects content and prevents scraping of images and content.
                  Its a good thing

                    Why are you not using one of the free picture hosting sites? Seems a little strange to be using the GSR as your hosting site for other sites. I use imageshack.com but tinypic.com and photobucket.com are very good as well.

                    1980 GS1000GT (Daily rider with a 1983 1100G engine)
                    1998 Honda ST1100 (Daily long distance rider)
                    1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

                    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

                      There is nothing strange except that now, I will be avoiding using the GSR for any image hosting. And yes I am well aware of many "free" services on the internet.

                        As per last post it, the limits on access to GSR content would drive me to host elsewhere on sites where there are not such limits.

                        i would imagine it would depend on ones personal objectives as to whether made any sense.
