I am afraid that it is clearly written in the rules that watermarked pictures are strictly forbidden. Just to prevent problems the site knew not so long ago. So please, read the rules carefully and you will be able to fully enjoy the advantages of such a wonderful site. By the way welcome ! |

You can replace the watermarked images and reupload your contribution. You must use only free, public domain images. Here are some sources for you:
So, after you �ve looked through those collections, do you still think you need watermarked images:)? Sophia

Seriously? Once bitten, twice shy? Use free images and your contributions are safe. Besides, images are great tools in language teaching you can �t do without them.

and your work will be downloaded much more with images than without, so you �ll get the points you need.

The others are right and Sophia �s links are great. Persevere, there are lots of good free images. This happened to me early on. I did a ppt tracing how we get crisps from potatoes. There were lots of slides and lots of pictures. However, on one (and it was only a picture of a measly potato!), there was a watermark which I just hadn �t noticed. I had a good number of points by the time it was reported (rightly) and I lost them. Never mind, it was a useful lesson! You are only 6 points away from the magic 30! Re-submit your ws. Onwards and upwards! |

If I manage to cut the watermark off, then what? Or how about if I cover it with something so you can �t see it? |
