Urgent request - Do not upload image attachments

[echarcha]

Certain threads like vintage photos, etc .. no delete please. we can spend our server space for those. Only new stuff which we keep adding just like that needs to be from external site.

I dont want to name the members here but recently many members have started uploading pictures on eCharcha server,please do not unless and untill its unavoidable please use some external image hosting server and link them here.

and then there are other picture hosting services too. I use tinypic.com.

BTW, imgur now also has a firefox plugin where you can right click on any pic on the web page and upload it to imgur. Tinypic doesn't have this option. I don't know about other services like imageshack and photobucket.

Also,

can we have some kind of upload tool in the "Post Reply" ?? something like this.

Unless this is an option in the default vBulletin software, I will not install hacks for this. You know why I dont install any hacks to the board software. Though I haven't upgraded in a while, and I intend to soon, I will always rely on default software minus the hacks. It has served our board well and I dont wish to change that now or in future. Thanks for the suggestion though.
