Joe, I guess it depends on the webmaster then, when I first joined CT add a photo didn’t work. It hasn’t worked since then. When I submitted theatres and put a photo link in the related websites I was told that they had to be added to the comments section after the theatre was listed. After I thought about that I did have to agree with that since linking to a photo is not really a realted website. So I have never put a photo website in the related sites since then. If it is okay then I believe not only myself but there are many others that can add photo links when they submit theatres. I still don’t believe that adding photos to that link is what it was meant for, maybe Ken Roe or Ross can clear that up. Then there would be a clear understanding for all.

You can add a photo link as a Related Website link. I did it a few times using vintage photos. Some links made it through the process and others didn’t. As for the photos being placed in a Photobucket account, unless you own the photo or have permission to place it into a Photobucket account, it is wrong. Most of those photos can be linked to without removing them from their source. Why would anyone need to place a Wikipedia photo or a photo from another website in their Photobucket when you can easily link right to the photo. It’s not only wrong, it’s really a stupid thing to do in my opinion. When other websites find their photos being copied they think twice about adding more photos to their website. That makes it more difficult for everyone to find photos. If I find the source for any of these photos, I will post that source. It might not prevent someone from taking other peoples property without permission, but it will allow the people on this website to know what the real source of the photo is.

For starters, the photo in the Related Websites link above comes from this site. It’s the last photo on the page.

Really. On Jul 26, 2009 at 9:07pm you claimed that “I couldn’t tell you what the website is now”. Since the caption with that photo reads “An old movie theater as we passed through town”, I’ll assume for now that the photo belongs to that site and give them credit for it.

You can give them credit, but you would be guessing. I think Francis of Assisi would have stuck in my mind. If guessing is OK, feel free.

Nice Neon in the NEON Marquee.

From the looks of things “in person”, I’d say the Neon is doomed.
