On of my child images is being hosted by a porn site. I would like to remove it, but dont' know how they are linking it.

I moved the image from the original gallery to a new gallery, and even chose the "hide" feature, but it still appears on the site?

It's not a graphic image in any sense, but I certainly don't want it there.

I looks as though the image was hot-linked from a forum that I visit often. Please let me know if you need more information.

The referring site is www.imagesbox.com

    To fully kill the link, you could delete and reupload. The image is cached out there locally, but it will fall off the cache since you've hidden it.

    Also: set external links to 'no' in your gallery settings, and consider using SmugIslands to set your hello world and smuggers to 'no' for these types of photos. You can also make the gallery unlisted and bots and people won't find them. More? please write our Support Heroes and let us help you directly from the help desk. Thanks!

    I would replace the image with something telling them to go bugger off.
