Caution on clicking on images

Post by justintime »

Everyone should be aware. If you see a new member with only a few posts. You should take caution on clicking on their images. It is easy to post an image here and have it linked to an outside image that may carry a virus.
My advise is never click on a newbies image until they have proven to be a regular member.
Viewing the image is fine on TDF, but clicking it could send you off site.

Mouse over and try to see where the image is located if you must in large the image. Better to be safe that not.

Using Adblock, NoScript, setting options on your webbsowser that allow you to see the link on the image by mouse over, a non-Windows operating system and a bit of using your brain would also help :razz:

Some members prefer to have their pictures hosted by external websites. Although we recommend to attach pictures, or to link to The Doll Album, linking to external sites is allowed. Most image hosts are fine, but some have irritating pop-ups when you visit their site. As always be careful browsing the internet.
