But since bandwidth has increased worldwide, hotlinked images are not much of a problem for us any more, and certainly not for image hosting sites like Imgur. The only problem with hotlinking now is that we will outlast the other sites and the threads won't be pretty. I like the idea that our threads may still be useful and interesting in 10-20 years.

Seems logical. #like

I have no problem downloading images to my HDD, and re-uploading them as attached images if you prefer. #yerdaboss

Well there is the longevity thing. I've perused way old threads, having seen something interesting some guest was looking at from 'who's online' and sometimes the relevant pics are gone and that's disappointing. You lose the thread of the thread.

Posterity!

These new-fangled computers let you delete stuff, too.

Download the pic.

Post the pic.

Delete the pic from your computer.

Only if I am in desperate need of space, but with 309GB free on my 323GB D: partition, and a 128GB flash drive, I think I'm good.

And yes, I realize you were replying to Jim.

Agreed, I hate that.

xoxoxoBruce 12-06-2015 12:43 PM

Likewise, however in this case it doesn't much matter.
