Solved Button

how do i put it in on my forum

you can go on like google and search solved buttons. right click and save a button as solved. than just add it to your smileys. (not sure of the full steps)

And what you would then be doing is violating the owners copyright unless they are marked as public domain.

You don't, really - you assume that it is unless you know for sure otherwise. Or you make them yourself, or go to websites that have graphics available to the public domain. There are lots of them - just Google for "free icons" or whatever.

that is what i do...and i have gotten a lot of smileys and stuff by google-ing lol, so can i get in trouble for this?

also, does that mean if you googled something and you took an image to use as a background for a sig, thats illegal??

ANY image, video, song, or other property on the web - unless it comes from a public domain location, or the owner specifically allows its use - is ILLEGAL to use. If you link to the image instead of hosting it yourself, you are compounding the theft. Most smilies are offered as public domain on many sites - you are usually safe there.

You either have permission to use such things by the owner of the copyright - or you leave it alone. Period. There are plenty of places offering free graphics of all kinds to the public domain. Either find something you like there or make them yourself.

Dont worry as long as people dont know the link no one can report.simple.

In the end, yes. It's your forum and you're responsible for what is on it.

No need for that - the people telling you it's okay to steal someones graphics are the stupid ones - not you. At least you seem to be trying to do it legitimately.

Well why would they put it on the web for public veiw.If they dont want you to see it or anything why even bother do so.For example look at googles you dont need anyone permission to copy from their do you Every Image,Info go their and get it.There's a simple way of getting the solve buttom its really , really easy...Your right about Getting the Permission of the Forum owner to Copy their Material's and such though and i dont think they'll delete it just put it un susspention...
