Permanent thread photos
This one will take some programming but please have all photographs backed up to a local server as I've been going through some DIY threads and most of the photos have been pulled thereby making the thread rather useless. A shame really, because some people have some really great ideas.

+1 on the above idea.
If you (anyone and everyone else) upload to our forum as attachments, the pictures will always be accessible. Most people tend to upload to an external site, such as photobucket, then link it here, unfortunately.

If my350z was able to back up the photos automatically to their servers, or force people to add as attachments, the photos would forever remain viewable in the forums, instead of empty boxes that indicate the picture can't be loaded. Yeah?

As far as I know, there isn't anything that automatically captures an externally uploaded picture and saves it onto the forum server so that's not happening.
As for forcing people to make attachments, we can't do that without disabling vB codes or getting rid of the picture tags, which would be counter-productive.
I always upload on our forum when posting pictures but not everyone does the same (hence this thread) so I definitely understand where you're coming from. But, again, it is the members who choose whether to upload directly to our servers via attachments or do it through other methods then link here.

I understand your concern. One of the best ways to ensure photos stay on our site is to upload them as attachments. But it can take time uploading, plus it looks better when the IMG is hosted as a tag. Currently we don't have a hosting system available to the public. I do know it's possible to give individuals permissions and passwords to upload directory to our server, but it's not something we practice. ..giving access to our server. I can inquire to the site owners and see if anything can be done...
Could have sworn that i have done that before....Then again i havent put that many images in my album, maybe the memory cap is too small for that?

Is it not possible to upload images to your photoalbum and just tag them onto the thread(s) just as if they were being hosted somewhere else and being tagged??
