Honestly, I'm happy either way. I prefer cited inline but Markdown for me is a pain to do. I'm not used to it. I'm not that comfortable with HTML either. So I understand when users just throw in the links at the bottom in an effort to make their post look more attractive without spending a lot of time citing sources.
The important part is the sources are cited. Those who take the time to do it in an attractive way will probably be rewarded more for it.
I have noticed many posters are actually citing the origins of pictures and video used. I have seen the citations done both ways. Nice to see others respecting the property of their fellow man by giving the author credit for their work!
Thank you for all the reminders...
