WARNING on copying smilies

[sAsLEX]

So actually found one of the jokes on here funny so copied it and emailed it to some workmates, now here is the problem at the end of the joke were a couple of these things :angry: :innocent: etc and when the email came through at their end they had changed to an image of lesbian porn with the notice NO HOTLINKING or something!

SO be careful copying stuff!

[Sniper]

Huh, thats weird, sounds like its a system thing due to the images actually being a collection of : ) ( and such. Weird.........

[Smorg]

You can use all the excuses you like but in the end your just a dirty jack

[Macktheknife]

What I want to know is why you didnt post the porn!

[Fishy]

lesbian porn?!.... mate can you copy some smilies and send them to me?...I just wanna check :)

[sAsLEX]

well give us your email! I cant see it as this is the pic http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/laugh.gif
and it just comes up as that when I send it to my other emails

[vtec]

Yep I got owned by this too... Wrote up a massive race report in the forums, and then copied it out of the forums, and emailed it to just about everyone in my contacts, approx 40 or so email addresses. And it had 2 smilies in it, so everyone got two porn pics aswell right in the middle of my write up. Was a touch embarrassed when a mate of mine pointed it out, but I got over it. Still, I could see this getting somebody into trouble at their work.

Also note, my email went to my grandparents aswell. They never commented though.

[bugjuice]

Just used gmail and no the Images appeared there and not the code/

[Big Dave]

Just used gmail and no the Images appeared there and not the code/

Haven't used gmail.

But I wonder where the instructions to call up the image are hidden then.
It would need a line of code with the url near the smilie - something that says (tag) a href url http://www.leso-image.jpg (/tag)

can you view source code like you can on a browser?

[MrMelon]

Just be thankful they linked to some nice clean lesbo porn rather than tubgirl or goatse!

how many of you tried to open this link.......

[Smorg]

obviously you had a crack at it

[Big Dave]

You guys!
I'm just interested in how it's done. self executable code somewhere maybe, but I reckon it's a hidden meta tag.

and hey - i'm a roll me in honey and throw me to the lesbians kinda guy, but those chics are too young for me.

thanks - now i know

[marty]

obviously you had a crack at it

only in the course of the investigation did i view said images your honour.

[scracha]

Oh fark, did almost exactly the same thing with a smiley in my race report. Spankme needs to change this, it aint funny having porn on your blog as a result. Put up a huge motorcycle or something instead.

[onearmedbandit]

You don't know SpankMe. He won't.

[westie]

The burning question is - which smileys?

[sAsLEX]

Oh fark, did almost exactly the same thing with a smiley in my race report. Spankme needs to change this, it aint funny having porn on your blog as a result. Put up a huge motorcycle or something instead.

Well thats why I put this thread up, wanna sticky it OAB?

[scracha]

You don't know SpankMe. He won't.

I know that. The worst thing is when you preview your own page it appears fine and then obviously spank's host's hotlinking software kicks in a few days later and the little smiley men turn into lesbians. Any :yes: will do

[imdying]

This is extremely common practice for web server admins who're sick of their bandwitdh being stolen. Always host your own pics. A friend of mnie used a random system that generally only gave duck pictures back, but with the occasional goatse pic thrown in now and then for laughs.

The bottom line is though, stealing bandwith is bad mmmkay.

[scracha]

FFS, nobody intends to steal bandwidth when they post a smiley. I'd assumed it was my "own" webserver's smiley and that it had cut n' pasted " :-)" or ":smiley" or something instead of
img src="http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/yes.gif" title="Yes" class="inlineimg" border="0"

Pretty wank to put up porn for hotlinking. Goats, small children, helen clark, satan or whatever is fine but for some reason peeps can get upset about pron.

[imdying]

That people are ignorant about the fact that they're stealing bandwidth is why the server admins have to resort to things like this. Otherwise that smiley will get forwarded about maybe a million times, slowing up the hosting server, and eating away at their (costly) bandwidth. And not goats, goatse (http://goatse.cz/) (not even close to work safe).

[sAsLEX]

goatse (http://goatse.cz/)

To click on the link, or not to, that is not a question I would be asking at work?

[imdying]

Really, if you're not strong of stomach, don't click the link.

[sAsLEX]

Really, if you're not strong of stomach, don't click the link.

Those who have been around a while realise that you link is as infamous as www.tubgirl.com ....... click on that if you want.

[Panther]

Shouldn't swoop be getting in here?
He's all about Mr Goatse...

[ManDownUnder]

Really, if you're not strong of stomach, don't click the link.

I clicked.. it was wrong...

very very wrong... (and very very NWS...!)

[Panther]

Hmm haven't you been around long enough to know what that is?
Or are you not as risque as you make yourself out to be?

[Toaster]

Yeah I copied a joke into an email once..... never did it again! Got a fright when that pic came up on my computer!

Are you being deliberately obtuse or something. I'm not denying it'll suck away his bandwidth nor excusing myself for it. I'm merely stating that this is not a porn site and I don't expect porn to appear if someone accidently hotlinks to it. Does the hotlink image have to be THAT offensive? It could be an image with spank saying "don't nick my bandwidth" or whatever. The hotlinker would quickly get the point.

[SpankMe]

Does the hotlink image have to be THAT offensive?

offencive?? Sorry, people who have a problem with the naked human body, just have a problem. Go see a shrink to get that fixed.

Here are some of the hotlink images.
65859   65860   65866   65864   65865   65867  
Nope, nothing offencive here.

[Pumba]

And not goats, goatse (http://goatse.cz/) (not even close to work safe).

I new I shouldnt of even gone near that link, lets stick to the leso porn

[scracha]

I don't have a problem with the naked human body. Unfortunately not everybody shares my opinion. Peeps (especailly young ones) should be given the choice of whether they want to view naked human bodies or not. Throwing up porn when hotlinking happens from a non-porn site (accidently or not) isn't appropriate. That's my tuppenceworth, take it or leave it. It's your site not mine. End of story.

[imdying]

It has been a problem for years now... the nice messages haven't really make much of a dent, but as you can see from your own experience, pron makes people sit up and notice. One problem is that a antihotlink script can't readily distinguish between accidental linking or otherwise.
