Hi Everyone,
For some reason it looks like there is a watermark on my latest submissions to OGA. The watermark appears to be the tail end of opengameaRT.ORG. Is there a particular reason for it? If so I believe that it shouldn't be there because if obstructs and detracts from use in a game or on a website. In fact in any media form.
If this is an advertisement for OGA (or is intentional in anyway by the OGA team) I will consider taking down my art. I have never been warned that this would occur and as far as I see there is no mention of it anywhere on the site.
If this is not intentional please tell me and I apologize for suspecting you.
Thanks,
Hero

I don't see it. Where is it supposed to be?
It's intentional, to bring traffic to OGA in case someone hotlinks. I recommend linking to the submission along with the image, and people can get the un-watermarked version there. They may need to clear their browser cache.
Can you link to the page where your images are showing up watermarked?
While I dont have any issue with there being a watermark on hotlinked art (OGA is not an image host) it prolly should be noted somewhere.

Hello,
They're showing up watermarked on both this site and any sites using the direct versions of my files hosted on this site.
It's from the main download of the image, not the preview, that is what annoys me.
I can see why you want plublicity but maybe you should say that you are doing this? It's not very convenient for the people downloading it.
I can see that it's not an image host. However the watermark shows up on every download of that work as far as I see, either linked from this site or linked from another site.
However it's cleared up all of a sudden.
Thanks,
Hero

I cant see any waterwarks on this site. Not on the preview version nor on the direct links...
Here, you might be able to see it. Might work, might not...

If you do see the marks head back to OGA and check my latest contribution. You may see them there to when you download it.

That's because your web browser caches the image once it downloads it. You have to go to the OGA page and do a force reload, which on Firefox is ctrl-shift-R. If you're running IE, it may be ctrl-shift-F5 or something.
Also, what you're doing on that page isn't really what hotlinking is intended for. If you're using images for menu icons, you should just put them on the website that they're supposed to be on. :)
(Like I said, go to the OGA page and do a forced reload, and you should get the original, un-watermarked image.)
