For those going on about the disk space, I suspect it's also about the bandwidth. When you open a picture, you are in fact downloading it to your PC and using up bandwidth where the picture is stored. Everbody who has an email address should also have web space. Takes two seconds to store it there and link to it.

@Beetle

first i click on 'insert image'. then i copy the adress into the box.
And as long as i edit this reply,there are these square brackets around it.
But after submitting reply,there is only a link to see.

ecke!

I tried it and got the same thing. Looks like a BBS address. Can you not load your picture to your webspace? I'll host it on mine for you for the time being. Right click on the image to display the URL. I'll leave it there as long as you like if you were wanting to post this pic in other threads.

I don't think so. If anything, it allows for better quality pictures, as hosting them externally means they are not limited in size, as attachments were. Also, several pictures can be included in the same message without the need for a separate post for each attachment.

If anything, I think the quality of connections, etc, will improve....

OK, how about this site that XtrmeJ used for his screensot - http://link.freepichosting.com ? OK, it has a banner across the bottom, but if it does the job....

I use two websites for my stuff.

The imagestation allows small to medium pics, does not allow access to "original" jpgs and works well for posting up samples. Works ok for what I use it for. Good place to store transparent gifs.

It's free ( and very clunky to use ) Some samples:

The second is for my wallpapers. EXCELLENT site, allows access to "originals" of any size, and storage is huge. I've got 180 wallpapers in there so far..

If I remember correctly it was 30 bucks for a year. With a 30 day free trial. Easy interface and have had zero problems. Highly recommended.

yeah I totally agree it's a big waste of time to upload your pics to the web and the post them here. How about reducing the size from 100k to 50k for pics posted here?

I'm kind of disappointed that they axed all of the images that were already on the BBS (maybe that couldn't be helped), but I was pretty suprised they allowed for it in the first place. That is a lot of space and bandwidth.

Well.. they didn't axe this one in time. From HiTech's wedding:
