People were posting pictures of American beef, and it just had to be stopped. |

check the other 3,000 posts on this subject.
It's not a big deal - if you want to post pictures join a different forum. |

The pictures don't show up on their servers hence it takes up no server resources except for the storage of a few characters (the link). The pics only load into the end-user's browser when the thread page is loaded and it is the end-user's browser itself that expends the resources to load up the actual pics. |

The images aren't stored on this site. They're only referred to. That's why you have to put the whole address of a file. I am not complaining though, if you need to show pictures, just post a link instead. |
