Quick question

[flyboy 28]

I'm not quite sure what to do about image hosting around here. I belong to a flight sim community and we only allow images to be hosted via the server on the site. Is there any specific host I should use, and also any restrictions on file size and image width?

Sorry if this has been answered before. I just didn't want to get slapped. :)

Thanks nwa. Wasn't sure if PB was allowed.

I don't know why your other forum said you couldn't use it, that is kind of wierd. All forums I post at allow it.

Ya, feel free to use Photobucket or Imageshack. No restriction on file size, but try to keep the width 1024 or less.

I don't know why your other forum said you couldn't use it, that is kind of wierd. All forums I post at allow it.

This is the reason on the upload page;

"Important: Please read before posting. Failure to comply could lead to shots being deleted.

The reasons for this are simple. Large images slow down the forum & slow down thread viewing.

These rules are here for the benefit of you & other site users."

Makes sense I guess. I just follow the rules.

Then why not just mandate that you can only upload a certain size, making you upload to the forum's site is going to eat up even more bandwidth... Ah well, doesn't matter, it's not this forum!
