Posting images and gifs from third party..

[Minstrel]

It's just an alternative. I change my avatar with a third party holder. We change the banners with a third party holder. It also takes weight off the database, by not storing them here.

But it's just an alternative.

That was why I was interested in storing images elsewhere. Even with my limited knowledge of using
these magical roadways of chatting, I knew the images I was posting contributed to a burden on the
database.


However, due to disciplines instilled long ago, I began to then fret on the 'weight' caused by my banners
on the hosting site!! 

I am, apparently, a "Reputation Whore", as - when attempting to gain favor with other Members (BIAD, in this case), said attempt (to add a Positive value to his/his-her Reputation) was outright disallowed, with an Error message informing that my pursuits of favor had exceeded the bounds of decent conduct, and I would have to wait another day to resume said pursuits.
Maybe this is just a limitation for the Test Site, or a default in the 'BB' code...or, God knows what I'm up to and is quashing my inane lust for favor ( )... ... ...but, in any case, I wanted to let you know.
