images - upload vs. embedding - 07/24/2002 11:48 AM
i'm not quite sure, if this is the correct place, but ok:
we're running a 5.5.1 forum and currently got a major problem with the embedding-function for pictures; people used to use images for signatures and profiles - and as quite some traffic is going on, webmasters from the pages, where the images are physically located started to complain about the "traffic-theft".
it's quite clear to us, that the feature itself is the problem, because we're in no way legally entitled to embed pictures from somebody's server.
so we turned the image-feature off, but now our users aren't satisfied.
the only solution could be, to upload the images to our server - and that's my question:
- is the upload feature for pictures (signatures, profiles, text entries) in vers. 6.x already integrated?
- is there an admin-check for the uploaded pictures? should be some way of moderation for the pictures, so that admins have to check the pics before they are available
thanx in advance
