What's on your table right now?

Ah, but then you can embed the photos that are attached. Here's some examples: http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=20828.0

Not many people who attach their images seem to do that, but it is nice that you do.

If you're doing a long-form AAR, isn't that the only option - to embed images hosted on another site?

I thought attaching them to your posts here means they go to the bottom of your post.

Look at the example I linked.

They do, but they also generate a link you can then embed. From Barth's example:

Clever Barth ;)

Maybe storage space isn't an issue, but if everyone attached the images instead of linking to them I would think that would take up space and maybe even slow the web server a bit?

I did. Read what I said. :P

"long form" meaning, long AAR post with images interspersed throughout. Like my D&D AARs.

Unless I'm totally missing something, because that link just shows one image per post? Could be I'm just ignorant.

And that is why I seemed to remember that we had been requested, back in the early days of Grogs, to use hosting sites like FB.

Sigh.... fine look at this example then: http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=19134.0

Thanks, Barth. I didn't recall that AAR being embedded like that. I appreciate it.

Could be a storage issue. Not sure about performance issues. Takes time for the page to load the files regardless of where they are stored. I guess there could be problems if you can attach massive images to the posts. I haven't looked to closely at the limits on attachments here. Most of the image hosting sites seem to automatically optimize the images as you upload them.

[BanzaiCat]

I imagine performance might be lessened from the site here calling the URLs from image hosting sites? Maybe not that big a deal, but if there's a lot of users online at the same time, perhaps? I'm curious.

Usually I upload them as is/large-sized, then change their size in the tag in the post if necessary.

I do the same with my pics, usually fairly large upload and resize in the tag.

I didn't come up with this either. I noticed that Airboy was using this technique in his AARs. http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=18129.0

If told not to do it I'll stop but I've not read anything on the site that suggests it's a bad thing.

Not a fan of Game of Thrones but that still looks pretty cool.
