Let me know. By chance I have a browser window open that still seems to have three of the "bare butt" pics. I think two of them were mostly only interesting to demonstrate what AI would agree to do and how AI got some things right and others wrong. Although even then they were kind of intense in some ways too. But the third one might be worth keeping. > Also, I don't understand the difference between a URL > for the IMGBB "page" (dangerous according to Lucas) > and the "actual picture" (safe according to Lucas). To take an example, this is a link to a pic (a literal JPEG file) hosted on the BBC website: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/976/cpsprodpb/fe1b/live/240fd8b0-844a-11f0-ba3b-2b97ad93442d.jpg And this is a link to a web page (an HTML file) that happens to include (use) that pic as part of it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy3zel0r3go The only effective difference is that the IMGBB "pages" are intended to have the pics in them as their main topic. Having said all this.... in theory whoever runs IMGBB could change what's in a .jpg or .png file hosted on their site, just as easily as they can decide what to put in their HTML files. But of course, an image hosting site that did that too often, would go out of business. It would be like a major league baseball team that regularly but inexplicably replaced their baseball games with a demonstration of line dancing, with no advance warning. So nothing is ever 100% "safe", just some things are a lot safer. I've never known flickr add weird things to pages, for example.... but I don't go anywhere near its "recommendations" pages. As a side note (which may help understanding). I originally made both the above links from the corpun.com research website (a page about slippering in British grammar schools, and the top pic from it). But the gentleman who runs that website has configured his web server not to allow direct links from other sites (like this one) to pics hosted on his site. Which is understandable, he's paying for it. > Can you explain how I can link to the pic and not the > page? Now there, you got me. I don't even know what you do to link to the page. (Are you using some IMGBB app? I never have.) I think I gave a summary of what I do to link to the pic instead of to the page. I think Graeme is only using apps (because only on a phone) so maybe he understands that side better? Maybe Romain can explain it better than I can....
