moldboy 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2005 If I post a tutorial on this forum, and then decide to post it on my website, can I? I know in the TOS or something it says that I grant Xisto the right to post my wirk withough giing up the right to it, so does that mean I can use a tutorial (that I wrote) on this forum and my site?

If the TOS says you aren't giving up the right to post your work, then you definitely can. I'm pretty sure they can't make you forfeit that right anyway, even if they do put that in the TOS.

moldboy 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 See that's what I thought, mayve it wasn't the TOS, I think maybe the forum rules. See the reason I'm wondering is because In the Tutorials rules thred it said don't post from a diffrent website. So I was wondering, what if that website was my website?

snlildude87 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 I agree with 20inches. If you made the article/tutorial, then you have every right to post it in any of these forums without using the quotes tag (meaning you can get hosting credits from it). An example is all the articles found in the Creativity forum. However, if you find a tutorial on a site that you DID NOT make, then you have to use the quotes tag when posting it on Xisto.When posting something that you made, make sure you include a big note saying that it's your article in case any of the staff members (including myself) find it online and claim that you did not make it.

As long as you wrote it, then you're fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moldboy 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Thankyou that's what I thought I just wanted to be sure. I want hosting credits, but was maybe planning on creating a tutorials section in my page later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elevenmil 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Yeah think of it in comparison to everyone who puts their poetry in the forums...they don't necessarily just come up with lines off the top of their head while posting, these things are done outside of the forum, so the same should apply to your situation...so lets see the tutorials!

moldboy 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Well thankyou, that's what I exped, but didn't want to without confirmation. While we are on the topic of tutorials, it says I must use image thumbnails (I understand why) but was wondering what the best way to go about using them is?
