brotherS:
Carol posted a funny cartoon here:

https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1648

I was sending the URL to lots of friends to
a) make them laugh
b) spread the word about this site

...then I was told that the cartoon isn't loading, because they are not registered :(

That's why I added the cartoon again, using http://imageshack.us/

Carol Haynes:
Thanks for doing that - I have removed the original image so it isn't there twice!

brotherS:
Maybe mouser can tell us if this is what he wants? Limits site traffic, but prevents not-yet users from seeing everything :(

Maybe it's a better idea to restrict uploads to maybe 30 kb for each image and just host bigger images at http://imageshack.us/ ?

mouser:
our new server is doing 4gb of bandwidth a day, i wouldnt worry about picture links taking up too much bandwidth :)

Carol Haynes:
It's a pain to have to post images somewhere else - though obviously bandwidth & storage is a potential issue in the long term.

Maybe it would be better to have a default time limit on images posted generally, say 60 days, and then they are deleted. If some are essential for future coherence of the thread than perhaps that setting could be over ridden by Mouser (or anyone else he wants to give rights to).
