Automatic Image Caching

Post by Chris »

If you use the IMG tags to point to an image not-local to PDB then the script will automatically make a copy of the image on the pachislodb server.
In past if an image is removed from the external server it would break the post in the forums as well.
These are my opinions and just because I am the admin you don't have to agree with me

That really is a good addition. The external links are handy but can make a mess of the thread when the donor site moves or deletes the image.
This is handy so that we can show an Epay image without making a copy and uploading it here.Otherwise once the add is deleted from epay the image link would break, not anymore.
