[QUOTE="LTR12101B, post: 141178, member: 18124"] Also ATTACHing an image file will work, but it consumes forum server bandwith, where links to external images do not. Many free webhosts will not allow "remote linking", so images stored there do not display in forums (often showing a "Image hosted at ......." banner instead) Boomspeed [url]http://www.boomspeed.com/[/url] Do seem to allow remote links - and while 1 Mb for free ain't exactly generous, including large images in forum posts is a bit unfriendly to dialup users.
