It would be great if we're allow to attach pics from our remote computer to the board. Right now, it's only possible take a link from other sites. Understand that takes up a lot of space, but ............. :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

There is an add on for phpBB that will allow you to do that but it would mean more load on the server.

I'm not keen on this as I don't really want the database clogged up with image files nor the potential cost of additional bandwidth usage. I understand it may also have data migration issues should we ever migrate again and I don't want to face the same problems as last time.

Referencing a pic uploaded elsewhere is the option and Tim's gallery is the place of choice to do this.

Erm, what what, all the picks I post are on my own IIS server at home. The clue is to actually have them compressed so they won't take much bandwitdh :wink:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what polkadot was suggesting was that you upload images and they are stored in the database rather than linked to elsewhere.
