TRF and bandwith

As all of you know I love posting photos. In a recent conversation I have been made aware from Steve that it takes up bandwith, which means it slows up TRF. The solution is to use the "insert image" link that Steve said would resolve the suitaition since using the link it goes to the htt:// page link and not TRF. So now I am doing my part in keeping TRF running by posting as much as I can with the "insert image" link, and not slowing TRF down.

Why not go all the way and not slow down the whole of cyberspace .... stop inserting pictures

I guess Leo would suggest you do the same with plain text too

Why not get your own server space for images to load from there?

Sorry I forgot that it is not your own pictures you post.

I am not as smart as you in photocroping Jocke. I am just a normal safe technician.

There are lots of free photo servers on the internet. I'm sure some guys will post some links.
What that means is when you see a photo in a post, it is actually a photo that is being hosted (by a special photo link) from the photo hosting website.

Photobucket, Imageshack, and Flickr are 3 such photo hosting servers that come to mind where you can get a free account.

Many of us opened one of those free accounts when we were seeking shelter at WUS . There you can only post decent size pictures when using there photo servers
