This is a fun idea, and a nice website! Kudos.
One thing to be careful of: warn people not to use Memory Alpha hotlinks for images, or refuse to accept them if possible. They look like they work to whoever tries to post them, but that is illusory; the image is preserved in their browser cache but is not visible to anyone else.
Hi thanks. I don't know what you mean by the memory alpha thing, could you please elaborate, if this runs up against any terms of service or the general principles of ST fandom, I'm all ears
Memory Alpha is the Fandom dot com wiki and it's got a lot of problems in general, one of which is image hosting. It's not a TOS or copyright issue; it's more that the average person won't be able to see an image you link from it.
Memory Alpha doesn't want people linking their images on external sites (which costs them bandwidth without getting any traffic), so they refuse to render images linked on another site. It's not a legal or moral problem to link these images, they just won't work.
For an example of what this looks like, go to Commander Shelby's page and check out the image of her in TNG. If by some chance you were the person who added that image, either clear your browser cache or go to the page in a different browser to see the problem.
hm interesting I see what you mean. So I actually pull all character images from Memory Alpha! It's strange why Elizabeth Dennehy first image is not rendering, while the second one is. I don't do any particular caching on my end per se, maybe my hosting solution (Vercel) has some part to play here, not sure.
That is bizare. Those are both static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha links, and interestingly both fail for me when I attempt to view the images in a new tab. I don't see any different flags in either link, so I have no idea what's up with this.
