Uploading photo vs. IMG VB option

Fred the Fop · 25 August 2002, 09:55

Hi RCK. Is it saving space on your server if someone uses the "IMG" VB function rather than upload a photo?

Of course it does! becasue instead of uploading the file itself, you link to a file in *another* server. If you can use this instead of uploading, always do so.

keep in mind though, that lots of sites (specially free ones) do not allow you to link to their images externally.

and images uploaded to the EAB server are sure to be well displayed for all users. (just upload all your stupidities into the off-topic section, which is purged regularly)

You mean I can upload the photo of you at the Power Rangers fan club meeting on off topics, RCK? Cool!

LOL!!! Actually, I prefer when the images are attached because you never know when a linked image is going to be on some slow-ass server (which may be fast for some users and very slow for others).
