But, is it not possible for this function to be implemented in epochtalk?
The forum already caches all images, so bandwidth shouldn't be the problem.
But I don't think Admin wants to deal with copyright issues. Now the forum can claim
this:
If you are complaining about an image located at ip.bitcointalk.org: That image is hosted elsewhere, and we are only proxying it from the original location in order to protect user privacy. You should not complain to us.
It would be amazing if we were able to upload images directly on bitcointalk while posting. But after seeing that page, now I understood why it will never happen. There is a chance there he would get a lot of complains and it would be a waste of time and headache for him, so he directly redirects everyone to image hosting. Btw with our image hosting, we would be able to integrate compression and resize tools and save a lot of space while giving comfort to users.
Isn't there any image upload service provider where you would be able to get their API and implement on the website and upload from it? Ahh, I think dream will be a dream in this case.
