Why is [img] turned off?

[mbogo]

I was trying to post photos of my Rolexes, but I see that option is turned off.
Is that a profile setting, or a board setting?

Thanks,
George

I think it's a profile setting as images work OK for me.

Agrab, you are attaching files uploaded from your hard drive; I want to display the image in my post by linking directly to a photo hosting site.

Yes mbogo, currently that ability has be turned off however, why is it a problem to attach a foto?

[mbogo]

Earl, I don't keep the photos on my PC at work; I staged them on a hosting site so I can get to them while I should be working. ;)

Is the feature turned off for a reason? By letting people link to photos, you would save on storage and its attendant costs.

The feature is temporarily off due to the Troll atack last week.
As soon as the security is beefed up it should be ok. :thumbsup:

Alpet is correct. Now that mods are in place, when I get better Internet speed than 28.8, I'll re-enable. I won't be back home for about 10 days.

Until then, use the boards attachment system.

Thanks, I thought that might have been the reason.
