A few changes have been made today.

You can now upload avatars, personal photos and also images within your posts.

Remotely linked avatars and signatures are NOT longer allowed because it is a privacy risk (remotely linked images can fetch many user details like IP, browser, OS and more)

Max. file size for images is 100 KB per image and 150 KB for personal photos.

Copyrighted images / porn / files are NOT allowed. Same goes for torrent files.

Abusing the upload features will result in instant bans - no questions asked.

Sweet! Thanks 7th. But how much space do we get to upload? We wont be able to upload many screenshots this means old screenshots have to be deleted if new one's are needed.

Your step regarding remotely linked pictures was right. I was beginning to think whether anyone read what i had posted.


Thanks again

Also, does it only applies to avatars & sigs or images in general(i hope not)?

I thought everything was fine the way it was before.

[7thElement]

No it won't affect the server cause it doesn't matter how much images are displayed.

I forgot to mention one thing: Hotlinking is disabled. If people use an uploaded image on other forums or sites it will be replaced with this one:
