How to tell if a image is being used or not

Postby Vick on March 12th, 2013, 6:29 pm

Okay so this can be moved but I get this question all the time in chat.

"Vick/anyone is this [image] being used by someone?"

Now Mizahar is a very large site. No one (besides Tarot but he is a god) can keep up with the images flooding the site in avatar or sig use. So while this trick takes me just a few seconds I am now going to teach you the ways of how I can tell if a image is used more often than not on Mizahar.

First of all - Open the image in a new tab.
Open this: https://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=ii

Now, that image tab you are looking for the url to the image it self. Normally ends in a .jpg or some such. Copy that.

Go back to google tab.

Click the camera and paste the URL.

Click search.

Change the search bar to Site:Mizahar.com then search again.

If it pulls up images that say file.php and other mizahar links odds are that image is in use. If you don't that tells you what you need to know.

If you need a picture guide I will make one.

Thanks for posting this Vick. It's the best way to also identify WHO a model is AND find more pictures of them (by not pointing it Mizahar, etc).
