Personally I would not like for this site to have auto image loading. In order to save storage space sites like that compress your image and greatly degrade it's quality. Being able to display your image as it is on a different server allows you to display it as it was intended.


On other sites I read, attached photos are made into clickable thumb nail images, just click and they get big for viewing. All of these sites do have the ability for you to hot link the full size image from a photo hosting site (like Photobucket, Picasa, etc.)... that way 0 storage is used from the forum and your photo is full size for viewing. Do respect the sites by not stretching them with over-sized images, so set your image upload sizer to 800 pixels or 640 pixels.


Providing a link is not the same as providing an image. Far from it. The presentation just doesn't flow if you provide links and there is far less interest from readers. Facebook will provide a low quality image of a linked image but most other sites do not.

The forums that create thumbnails from your upload and allow you click on those for a separate image degrade your image. Any time your image is resized from it's original there is degradation. Many of us process our image for a certain size and want it displayed as it was created.That's how a photo gallery should be.

The new limit of 250KB is very liberal and capable of displaying a find quality image at 800 pixels. As long as the image is within those parameters I don't think the original should be tampered with.

Facebook and other auto load websites gives you the convenience of uploading any size image out of the camera and have it resized to a uniform size. Just give it to them and they do the rest.
