Discussion of url's on tags.

[Huronna]

This has come up on the Zone and I for one am the biggest culprit. So since I am, maybe some of your are also.  I am not going to be a wet noodle whipper here, but if you plan on using anything in the future at the zone , you better have www. url    on your sig tag.

I think the problem arose a long time ago when the g-rated sites were not permitted to use the url of an adult or mature artist, but we were able to use the Name of the Site as credit.

Now, maybe the problem is that we told people to just c/p the credits that were on the tube to avoid spelling errors. but this is actually more confusing because we  have everything from http:// to http://www to www. to nothing....depending on when the tube was done. 

Starting from now, I am going to try and use the www. on my credits because many of them wind up on the zone.  We should try here, but again, I am not going to be a hard ..... about it.  But we might get deleted over there. 

The majority of you do put the www. in your credits and as I said. I am the worse culprit. So don't shoot the messenger, as I will have to try and be better.

So that means that if I use my photo and I don't have a website, it's not compliant and I can't use it. And, any other photos without urls are not compliant either. Do I understand that correctly.

I always use the internet address of an artist but have used the http:// and https:// even though I know the www works for all now. Does this mean I have to change all the addresses to www on tags and remove all others from my rotators?

[Huronna]

If a person does not have a website, all you can do is give them credit.....like you always do Flagryl.
I have never seen you do anything wrong. This was basically dealing with people at the zone that were using scraps for their background and not giving any credit, it was not pointing a finger at any AL people. except for my omitting the www. which has always previously been acceptable, there is nothing you all have to change.

Oh good, whew. I thought I was going to have to pull a bunch of tags off my rotator because they had http on them. I'm going to blame my poor understanding on my condition.

Well, since I'm not a member over there anymore I will continue on as I have been. LOL

I know that I have been guilty of this a time or two. Will try to remember the www. from now on. Thanks for the info Boss Lady.
