In checking my webspace stats today, I discovered links from the lj photo archive site and went there to find them linked to images on my journal. I plowed through and found a way to opt out of this. This is in case some of you did not know this and wanted to as well.
LJ Images And Bandwidth Theft
You all remember the little LJ thing that showed you the last 20 images posted to LJ...and then the debates about how other sites were using that tool and people went on about bandwidth theft.
I'm not here to rehash those arguments, or present either side. I am, however, here to make your day, if you had a problem with this.
Enough complaints were sent to LJ Administration that they made a few code changes, and made it possible for you to opt out of that tool, thus saving your images from showing up there to be hotlinked elsewhere, etc.
All you need to do is bop over to the Admin Console and enter the following command: set latest_optout yes
That's it, you're out of the loop.
Pass it along.
Also, in other news...my isp just upped our space and bandwidth, so more room for nekkid bois viewing!
