It is not a question of FTE bandwidth. It is a question of download times for people that use dialup which is still a majority of users and FTE policy. It is just a courtesy... Please post links in ALL of the FTE forums.

Right now because your server is down my browser is just sitting here trying and trying to load the image in your post and getting nowhere. With all the various servers out there hosting pictures you can imagine what it would be like with a ton of images in a thread.

There have been discussions on this subject before that can be found in the suggestions and user gallery forums.

Everything's working now. Pics online, links valid, yada yada.

I get your point Torque1st, and I'll abide by the rules I guess. But clicking links force popups which is something I personally dislike.

Also, in my specific case, on other FTE forums I'm quite generous with wiring diagrams, disassembly (exploded) diagrams, and so on. To protect my collection from web-link-thiefs while providing assistance to the FTE community, I have this stuff locked down tight. If viewed from my website, or "inline" on the FTE forums, you can see the pictures. If you click a link on those diagrams that I post on the forums, because of all the javascript stuff that you guys have going on here, the links to those diagrams will not work.

I figured it was easier to put such diagrams in-line rather than asking FTE to unload all the javascript

For pictures of projects, how-to's and "stuff", I would totally agree with the reasons you stated.

Anyway, I guess that's that.

Always tradeoffs...

I just changed the image in your post #41 to a link since it was only showing up about 50% of the time. At least this way people can click on the link and not just get nothing. -Probably all of that script stuff...
