Image Uploads

[Calum]

It should now be possible to upload images directly, actually indirectly, to this forum!

I know a lot of you have been wanting this functionality and I have had my reasons why I haven't allowed it.

And I stand by those reasons.

If you go ahead and click on the cloud, with the arrow, it should allow you to upload images.

However these images are uploaded to my server, then my server uploads it directly to imgur, not hosting from my forum. So it's the best of both worlds.

How well it actually works, well that'll be the test.

Let me know if you're having issues.

I've thought about this solution in the past. My only concern was whether or not Imgur or any other photo sharing site would not allow you to have an account that isn't for "personal use". If this forum starting receiving tens of thousands of views every day, would there be a point that the photo sharing site would not like you over using their service???

@Mightyman Lol. This site is never going to be that big lol. It gets about 100'000 hits a month.

Yeah I don't think imgur will be a problem. Although don't count on your images lasting forever.

@Calum 100,000 hits a month is respectable!!!

@CYBER-NINJA Yeah it's probably just Google Spiders and I even saw a Chinese Search engine crawling the site
