if i go by what was said above that addresses my original question, then, for example, it would be acceptable to post an image into a forum with active links to outside products used? or say, i stated, prior to the links, the caveat 'for informational purposes only', then that is perfectly within the bounds of the TOS... am i understanding the things correctly?

ie - active links to outsides products are fine anywhere on the site EXCEPT in the galleries, yes?
