Image Linking
Can anyone please refrain from posting any pictures in posts from today unless you upload them to the gallery area and then use the web url from the gallery to the image so it displays that way, (just right click any image you want and select properties, then copy and paste the link as you would from other sites)
reason is a while back we had problems with a certain post not opening and causing all sorts of issues for members and myself trying to correct the issue, these issues are that where ever you host the image, if that site goes down or opens slow, it will cause a timeout error on our site due to trying to open the image from here,
all images for example "what is this part etc" or "this is the part i'm having problems with" etc etc, these need to be uploaded to the help section in the gallery, then just submit the link as you would normally if on another site, this way it can only be a problem if our own site is down and no other 3rd party link host.
same goes for members motors etc, upload to the correct album and link from there.
if this is not done i will have to delete any image not in our gallery which will then defeat the object of who evers post is requiring the image.
again if this is not carried out i will have to stop any html linking what so ever and this will include even giving a link to anywhere for people to click on, for example www.equicar.co.uk etc etc
so your support in the matter is greatly appreciated,
