    Posting pictures (uploading and hotlinking)

    Just FYI, for those who don't read the rules, I'll post those concerning this forum here.

    § 4.4) hotlinking is forbidden, WAB has a generous attachment policy, up to 5 pictures totaling 1MB for all attachments is allowed per post, please save the pictures to your computer, then upload them if you wish to use them in a post

    Hotlinking definition: Hotlinking is a term for a specific form of bandwidth theft, when someone, rather than storing an image or file in their server space, sets the HTML to refer to a site they don't own, therefore setting the server usage to someone else's account, possibly on the other side of the world. This is clearly a serious problem, especially if you're paying for server space.

    I'm sure using websites which are supposed to be used for hosting (photobucket, imageshack, tinypic etc..) are ok though..?

    Most emphatically yes, Flickr and Photobucket etc are strongly encouraged, as is uploading pictures to the WAB itself.
