The spoiler tag just hides the image, but it still loads, as far as I know. We have the Art Room thread. Maybe we need to confine all images there, so people can avoid the image-laden posts altogether if they choose? It would be easy enough to moderate that—delete any post containing an image other than an avatar if it’s posted outside the Art Room. If you need to provide illustrations for your challenge or request, do it in PM, or email it. Does that work?

Time to be thinking of your holiday stories peeps. You are all invited to my party. http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/66153-walkin-in-a-writers-wonderland-2017/

It’s been an adventure these last couple of weeks!! I realize that Fan-Fic doesn’t have to (and usually doesn’t) follow the original script put forth by their chosen author. However, in my situation with Tolkien, there are so many gaps which create an exceptionally fertile ground to go whatever direction I choose, especially when the main character is Thranduil. Not to mention that I’m incorporating some ancient ‘original works’ of mine into this entire storyline. I should call it “The Saga of Thranduil” LOL I need my head examined!! When I hit my wall in the story and started working on another one, I actually created more work for myself. The new one I started was supposed to be a OneShot PWP that ended up being a 6 Chapter back-story on the 3 chapters I had already written. The extra work comes in because now I need to rewrite a few sections in the first story to incorporate this new back-story because I absolutely love the direction the back-story took!

Based on what I’m seeing in the HTML, my hunch is the browser would load it automatically (it might wait, but it might not).

Just a moment…. testing the spoiler idea….

Now that I’ve had a chance to sleep on this, I can see a potential problem with forcing people to use url’s linked to pictures off-site. What can happen is people deliberately leave a link to what they describe is a particular legitimate picture when in reality it’s to a very, very nasty site, designed to do nasty things to your computer, or even to a website with highly illegal content. This can, and does, happen elsewhere. All we need is a pissed off person deciding to leave, but not before leaving a parting gift. Another problem is that they could be providing a link to a legitimate website with a legitimate picture, but that website later disappears and is replaced by one of those nasty sites previously described. That’s a problem that’s occurred here at least once. Oh, and I’m assuming this is what people are talking about, linking to pictures that are hosted off-site?

lol.. ran across this forgotten gem in one of my files. “Appreciating something doesn’t imply I’m sexually attracted, or should we ask your Christmas tree?”

So far, today’s been successful. Four chapters done on the sequel to Dale’s Game, and some progress to chapter 22 of the Repair Guy.
