Re: img tag
I still don't see why external image links can't be put in here. I read Azkar say that it reduces the integrity of the posts over time as other sites might close and/or remove those pics. But what about all those posts where guppies remove the pictures themselves after a few hours. Where's the integrity gain there? I hate going to a thread and suddenly there aren't any pictures and everyone's like "oh how sexy". Reminds me of that old abbreviation KLPT :)
All such threads a closed on GS, besides members can only delete whatever they posted within the first 24 hours of posting. Whereas, pictures posted on image hosting sites are mostly automatically delete after a certain time of inactivity, which will leave a deadlink to the pic in the thread. :)
