Quoting pictures

by **flixotide** on Tue May 24, 2005 7:00 am

To lessen the stress of pictures hosted and general bandwidth, I would suggest that quoted pictures are only quoted as hyperlinks , not as visible picutures.

This can be done, and should the admins not know how, they should feel free to contact me.

Cheers, Flix

It's something I'd consider. I'd certainly be interested in more info. (Y)

I'll be in touch shortly, while this is an apparent option in Vbulletin, it doesn't seem to be an actual feature with phpbb at the moment.. strange, I was sure I had this configured with pbpbb as well.

I don't understand, this feature won't really lessen the volume of the bandwith, as when a image is showed once, it can be displayed as many times as you want without eating bandwith another time

You have a point, if that is true - which I am quite sure it is.

But at least quoting pictures will lessen the size of threads.

I don't see the point, the image tags are there so that we can show each other pictures without having to click to go to another site. Is bandwidth really such an issue with the NLSC?

The people at the NLSC are quite user-friendly, we give a warning when we post huge/large pictures (which doesn't happen all that often), most of the pictures we use are 56K friendly.

I'm on a shit connection so if someone quotes a huge picture I just edit it anyways.

Jae, quoting a picture doesn't make you load it twice, unless if the quote is on another page

flixotide's right, at last it could decrease the length of some threads. If it's easy to implement in phpbb2 i'd say go for it (Y)

So you know how to do it in phpbb? I pm'ed andrew cuz I'm only familiar with vbulletin and wasn't aware this place was phpbb driving.

Please drop me a PM on the phpbb solution if you have the time, as I'd love to keep it in store for own experiences when i get the time to toy around phpbb a little.

Really? Awell, it's still irritating.

I agree it is kind of annoying. I think it could be a good idea but I really don't mind at all.

Similar topic, althought nothing can be done about this, doesn't it suck when people quote huge posts and respond with "I Agree. (Y)

" or something like that.

I agree.

(You knew that was going to happen sooner or later)

As I said in the PM, I'm interested in hearing whatever you find out. But if it's not possible, no worries.
