OK, so I'm new to the whole image posting thing and I have a question.
Say I see a set of pics say on another message board somewhere and I want to post those pics here in the correct celeb thread with thumbnails.
Instead of downloading the pics, re-uploading them, and then posting the links couldn't I just click on QUOTE in the thread where I saw the pics, COPY the URL links and post those? This would totally bypass the re-uploading of the images. I mean, if I just make sure that the host of the pics is one that hasn't banned us, wouldn't that work? Or am I overlooking something? Is this bad board etiquette?
This, of course, is an alternative to just posting a link to that other board's thread which would be a lot easier, but then we wouldn't get the thumbnails. And, of course, this does not pertain to images that are not hosted somewhere else on the web - i.e. I've got them on my hard drive.
The whole process of downloading, re-uploading and posting just seems so redundant. Especially if all we need is the original hotlink.
