Please do not use DanaSoft, and other company, web bug signatures on the PCLinuxOS forums.

Such sigs serve as web bugs providing companies, such as blockedwebbug, information about our readers that I feel violate their privacy.

These web bug signatures provide those companies the IP address, OS type and version, browser info, as well as the URL of the page being viewed when the sig is stumbled upon.? This information can be used to create targeted advertising as well as browsing histories of our readership, which is unacceptable from a privacy stand point.

I will remove any such signatures from users profiles as I find them.? Thank you for respecting our readers and posters privacy in this matter.

Ill add to to this DONT USE Photobucket to host your images.  They also do the same to track your usage. surfing habits Email address etc..  setting you up for Spam

Instead please use image shack they don't require  registration or a email address to host your image
