Photos taking up too much space?

Post by 69rangerman »

Hey Keith,

I accidentally figured out how to cause one of my photobucket photos to open up inside the forum post. It's cool and useful but does this take up more space than uploading one from the hardrive? I kept getting upload error so tried photobucket. Don't want to clog up the works.

Thanks,
Tom

Linking to a photo in an off-site hosting facility (like PhotoBucket) does save on FORDification's bandwidth usage. Though we're not hurting in that area, if you already have the photos online in a PhotoBucket account, it does make more sense to just link to them there instead of uploading the same photos here to the site.

Thanks, I like being able to see the photo without having to download.
