Assalamou aleikoum dear sis Samiraa,
sorry, I had to redo your art work to make it in a more friendly user layout... ooopss
Also, doing that, I have noticed that most of your images are ''hot linked'' or ''direct linked'' which means you copied them directly from a site and copied them here. Which is what most of us did once upon a time, when we did not know about Hot linking.
Problem is, sometimes, some websites get annoyed by people hotlinking their images, becasue it means they have to pay more bandwith to their webhost (i'll spare you all the technical jargon coz i do not understand it meeself, lol) and sometimes, it has happened that some webmasters have substituted their images (by changing the ip address of their own images) to some not very nice pics. And we have had some on this site. But Alhamdullilah, some keen eyed mod spotted them (not me, I am short sighted) and we could remove the pics before some of you could see them. As a matter of fact, there is a special forum for webmasters whose pictures at hotlinked where they can complain and they have formed a group (about what can nasty pictures they can replace the one of the site).
So, i should really ask you very nicely
to open an account (it is free ) at one (or all) of these file hosting websites and to save your very , very , very pictures and upload them from there. It is why you see most pictures uploaded here from Photobucket.

http://fileden.com(if you right on the pictures in my siggy, you'll see I have used Photobucket, forumsigs and Fileden.....)
This is of course too, to all my sweet little (and big) sisters who do not know about the nasty business of bandwith theft and the problem it causes. And no worries, everyone has done it as some stage because discussion forums are the worst culprits (due to the fact that you can so easily [img]XXX [/ img] without having to save first on your hard disk.
So, everytime you see hotlinking, pass it the info around, because even sisters with a blog or a personnal page, even if it is free, get sometimes their account suspended, because of bandwith theft due to other muslims posting their pictures to other sites.
And it is why also you can have a pic here from lets say a Photobucket account, and you cannot see the pic, just a square with ''maximum bandwith exceeded for this picture'' and this is , most of the time, because sisters took it from here and posted it somewhere else, where it was taken to be posted somewhere else, etc.... without being saved first on a picture hosting website....
I have run out of breath....
please do continue to post your lovely pictures my sweet sisters (but open first a Photobucket or whatever site account
and do not mind me, it is old age creeping up on me
so, when I could say things with 10 words, I use a 100....
(I told you, I am only here to be nasty
)
