If you see the following image -- http://themolitor.com/images/notice.gif -- it means you’re using an image on my hosting/server, which technically is considered stealing (don’t worry, I’m not mad).

Bandwidth is expensive and has consequences for my business when people who purchase my themes use images on my server. Recently my server has been crashing a lot and I realized it’s because users are hotlinking my images. As a result, I’ve had to take these measures of replacing the images in hopes to provide some education for users not aware of this.

My advice is to download the images you want and upload them to your own hosting account (via WordPress media upload tool). Then change the URL to the new URL you receive after uploading. If you acquired the image through importing demo content, ALWAYS make sure you click the check box that will download the images (instead of hotlinking them).

I should note that this doesn’t have anything to do with my themes. This is a security measure related to my hosting account.

Thanks!
