Thsi caution from S2H got me wondering......

"bonkmeister, be careful with the hot-links. One of these days, you'll be posting amputated buttholes without even realizing it.

since I am Noobsauce I have been using hot-links for fotos because it's quicker than the download/edit/resize/upload routine.....especially in a fast moving thread.....

....so what I am wondering is: what's the best quick way to poast a pix?

Save the image to your computer, and upload it using the upload photos feature. You can then delete it from your hard drive if you like, and it will still be on RBR.

If you want to insert photos within a thread, get an imageshack or photobucket account. You still save the image to your hard drive, but then you upload it to the photo hosting site. You can then delete it from your hard drive. Paste the link to the new host.

+1. Upload if it's a small file, Imageshack if it's not.

You don't need no account, neither.

...this procedure I know about Alex, it's just slow working w/ Paint or IrfanView........

what are you using to edit downloaded pics?....resize mainly?
