Hattrick takes all logos in house
So hattrick will now not allow you to link to external pictures as your logo.
All pictures must be uploaded to hattrick, and most logos exceed their size limit. Which they dont tell you about and I can find nowhere that says what size it should be [:p] The full 'agreement' you HAVE to agree to is here... Please for gods sake READ it and dont just click and go! Quote:

I have fewer issues with the legalese of this than the sheer amount of work this has caused me. I have around 300 logo's I have created out there and all of them now need to be resized. I think the basic of the legalese is that you cannot charge them for advertising on their site even though they are displaying it.

Another instance of everyone having to jump through hoops for a couple of people that took advantage of the system for a prank :(
|
My Misfit-made logo is OK with size.
|
yeah? It must have been an early model before I switched to using .png to get the best quality.

Tubby, the one who made that prank on saturday because he was frustrated with the HTs. He reported the loophole weks before that but nothing happened, so he took action. It was not to hurt the users but he felt that HTs didn't care about security enough.
I can understand that they now disallow external logos. There are too many loophols involved in loading external pics. And I do understand the need for such rules, Meli. |
ah. I'm still a little confused about how a picture can cause a web-based error. It sounds like the loophole was that when you went to go accept a challenge from someone and/or visited their teams page the graphic would somehow cause you to recruit a weak coach.
It would have been nicer if they would have waited until the new Youth Academy was sorted out before consuming HT resources on a loophole (even if it was ignored for so long). |
What a joke this is...
I'm curious as to whether this agreement binds 3rd parties, it doesn;t seem to me they can legaly distribute images that 3rd parties have property rights on, so if I use mistfit's images, he has the intellectual property rights on it (including the right to reproduce/distribute etc), but because I upload it he is not bound by the agreement, so could legaly protest against it use, I'd say. Btw, I'm now forced to go back to the old Snaken,gif logo, instead of the way better redone .bmp which is 150Kb. [sad] |
what are the size limitations?
|
50KB is the maximum allowable size now..
These should work for you guys: Kemal: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...de-snaken2.jpg Meli: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...s-Manglers.jpg Tubby: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3.../Meltdown4.jpg If you have one of mine that is not working HT mail me.. |
