PSA: Note regarding embedding images in your posts

Post by rootfather »

Hi all,

please note that instead of embedding pictures/images on external image hosting platforms with the [img] tag, you should use the "Attachments" function whenever possible. We've already seen lost images in the past due to random image hosting sites closing down or removing images after a certain grace period.

Uploading the media directly to the forums as attachments ensures that all data is stored within the forums themselves and your posts are independent from third-party providers.

Thanks!
Lothar

Embedding images from external resources is disabled now.

All the best
