This is a hijack:
If we recieved PCF Nobel prizes for great ideas I would get one for this:
Would this be compatible to work on PCF.co.za?
Think about it, local image hosting from now on, saving everyone's bandwidth and sooooo user friendly. Let the link explain more.
Pretty please, incorporate this. pleaaaaaaaaase.
*edit* P.S. and no more new members asking "how do I upload pictures?" horaaaaay!

If you are running PunBB or any other forum that uses BBCode, why not try my Image Upload Mod, here is a screenshot:

Two reasons why I say no:
- It's not designed for phpBB and therefore is not guaranteed to work.
- More seriously, I notice that the solution for non-PunBB forums involving including a PHP file in the source that resides on a third-party forum. That's a potentially serious security hole. I, for one, would not include code that I have no control over.

The biggest issue is, in fact, the price of bandwidth. South African bandwidth is terribly expensive, and while the small number of images currently hosted on the forum's server doesn't amount to much, the expenses will skyrocket when you implement the ability to upload small files of even 100kb each. At any one time, there are probably about 500 connections to the site, and once added up, you'll find hosting bills in excess of thousands of Rands a month.
I would expect PCF to have a SUPER HIGH bandwidth usage host if not even uncapped.
It will help out a lot since people with local only cap can then view pictures as well
Will help people whos work/schools block various photo hosting sites as well
