I am adding a mod that will take any image you upload to the site and throw it on my Imgur account. This is "technically" my personal Imgur account but it has only been used for this site. If I am able to I will change the name of the Imgur account to DumagueteInfo to avoid any confusion I will. These photos will be loaded to a semi-private folder there. Meaning that only the DI servers and people who know the exact link to the folder will have access to them from Imgur.
I am doing this because I have noticed that most people are mainly using the "Upload a File" button to post images to the forum (even if the images do not belong to them....which is not what that button is designed for) instead of copying the image link and pasting it using the image button next to the smilies button. When you "upload a file" you are uploading it to the DI servers...and I have limited storage space for attachments.
But....none of that will matter now as all uploads will be redirected to my Imgur account and my limit there far exceeds the amount of photos that could possibly be uploaded from this forum alone. So post your pictures using whatever method you like.
I am making the changes now. If there are any changes in how the upload procedure will work I will post them here. Hopefully this will happen all behind the scenes so that nothing on the front end changes. Just FYI.
