Oh okay, thank you!

Im bad at English, sorry. What I meant was is we had the viewer idea and didnt save our designs but posted them on a thread like Fox did then we cant copy and paste them back into the generator. This means we either have to save all our designs or recreate them everytime.
Plus, when we post our designs for theme contests Krin has to do exactly the same as he can not copy and paste the viewer format.

I'm sorry, but I still don't know what you mean by 'viewer idea'. Are you talking about the idea to make it difficult to copy & paste designs into the generator?

Yes.

Invalid URL. URL must begin with www.sylestia.com/image_builder_pet.php.
if these static pet images started with something like (it would probably need other modifications otherwise it would be easy for design thieves to change it back):
www.sylestia.com/image_viewer_pet.php.
then nobody could directly copy the exact image from the generator in any way.

Ah, sorry about my confusion! I think that maybe, if it wouldn't be too hard to code, there could be a function that lets you copy & paste designs into the generator, but doesn't let you upload/save it to the generator.

I've added a contest, read rules carefully and thoroughly before submitting entries.

1. Have you been a victim of design theft?
Not to my knowledge.
2. Have you participated in design theft?
No. I've pulled up other peoples' designs on the generator to mess with the design's traits, but never actually went anywhere past there.
3. Have you first-hand witnessed design theft?
No? I went and visited a thread that had a bit of design theft in it, but it was resolved before I visited, so I'm not sure how to answer.
4. Have you dealt with design theft that you were not a victim of (i.e. told the designer, politely asked the thief to stop, etc.)?
No; any design theft I've seen has already been discussed.
5. What are your feelings and opinions about design theft?
I think it's uncreative and stupid. If you can make up your own designs, do that! And if you can't, ask the person who made the design! It's right next to the image! I enjoy making my designs, even if they don't go anywhere, and even if it's selfish, I wouldn't want anyone else making money off of them.

Accepted, welcome to the Opposition! And for question 3, yes, I do consider that witnessing design theft. And don't worry, that's not selfish at all.

Oh, and there's a contest going on right now, feel free to enter!

Just wanted to let everyone know, the contest rules have been edited! I have added a new rule, Rule 3, so please take a look before submitting your entry, thank you!

5. What are your feelings and opinions about design theft? I feel bad for those who have put so many efforts into their artwork, and another person steals it and takes all the credit, it's disrespectful, and unfair.
