Topic: Whlie posting is it yet possible for IMG upload directly on forum ?

Hi,

This is just a curiosity , whereby is it yet possible to attach an image to a post with a LINK instead of <IMG> ? It would be so much more handy for everyone I think , as many commercial forums have it, and it makes it so much easier and spontaneous when you just want to show someone a screenie of a problem etc.

Thx
GM

Hi,

we don't have the long term capacity of managing image upload,
also the forum is attacked by spam a lot and it will unfortunately open an additional breach,
it's something I prefer to avoid, we don't have the budget of a comercial forum, in fact the donations
would not even cover the cost of Maratis web hosting if it was not sponsored by celeonet...

But yes it would be more convenient I agree.

Hmm how about img tag to display the image hosted from another website ? will that be a issue too ?
About the spam yeah too much spam here . only thing people can do is delete it

IMG tag is already in action on these forums, and if you click 'images' near top , right corner of website as you are posting, it shows: PunBB bbcode test , as an example of it's use.

You just find a place to upload your image [ I like skydrive, its so easy to use and lots of space] ( hopefully one that won't sell your info , unlike google! as we now know , which is why Im using Hotmail atm at least ) and reference it in the <img> quotes as above.
