Direct Linking
Direct linking is the use of a particular image or multimedia file on another website by linking directly to it on another web host's server.
For example, if you want to post an image on another forum, a direct linking URL (found on the edit image page) can be used to display that image via the PBase server on another website or forum.
An easy way to find the direct linking URL for your images is to go to the edit image page and see the 'direct linking URL' at the top right of the screen. |

Cookies are often used to store information (such as your name, interests, etc.) in order to prepare a customized page each time a particular user goes to a web site. PBase uses cookies to identify page requests as coming from a specific PBase user associated with your username. If you don't log out, sometimes if you come... (more)

However, please note that even if you have a very large counter value for your direct links, it does not necessarily mean that someone has illegally linked to your image.
