Hot linking question?

Bournemouth homeowner's fury over sofa wedged in stairs

The sofa company has since agreed to pay for the damage and provide a brand new couch.

If you post a link like above can you also hot link the pictures directly from the URL to give people the gist of the story?

*Edited for clarity, thanks FBi7*

Yes, but you would have to re-host the images.

That wouldn't be hot linking.

That wouldn't be hot linking.

I though you weren’t allowed to hotlink on here?

PIVOT! PIVOT!

not sure how the home owners were expecting that to go up the stairs tbh.

In other news, big **** off sofa doesn’t fit up narrow stairs with a bend, shock. Both the home owner and company are idiots.

Url's now show a summary and a thumbnail picture so i wondered if this rule has changed?

I'm starting to wonder if Ice Tea posts actual comments... He's graduated from just posting links, to starting threads wit just a link, now a thread ABOUT links!

You seem to be having some type of anxiety attack, would it help you if i didn't post at all?

You are correct. However, prior to editing your post, you never actually asked about hot linking.

Probably wouldn't make a difference, I just see a link without comments and scroll on

Edited again.

It's a cheek to expect a delivery driver to carry a sofa upstairs anyway. That should be the responsibility of the buyer.

Whenever I have something big delivered, I tell them to leave it just inside the front door. I don't want strangers walking through my house.

Here's the home owner.

Here's the home owner.

If this is the couple, then her card under the table lamp is spot on.

Hot-linking is when you embed an image from a secondary site and it's common to do it on WhatsApp and Signal e.g. product/pages links to Amazon, BBC, Metro, Microsoft, Hotukdeals and Instagram.

The OcUK rule though is that you have to re-host from Imgur, Post Image etc even though that is still classed as hot-linking.

Weirdly enough, it is not against OcUK rules to embed a YouTube video, even though it hot-links an image of the video's thumbnail.

No wonder it didn’t go up the stairs, it must have been a corner sofa

This photo does make me laugh. It's like, in every single way, they're trying too hard to impress.

The shirt and trousers two sizes too small, no socks, watch poking out. Holiday medallion. The perm.
The glass of Pino.
The bland, tasteless boring décor, with gold painted beading up the stairs. Because, gold = rich right.

Perhaps I'm just too old and miserable to care what others think anymore.
