Blown margins are the least of problems associated with hot-linked images (though the most visually obvious, when the image is too large to "fit"). It would be a trivial matter for BBR to resize (as in, control the display size of) hot-linked images automatically, too; they simply don't.
Another problem would be those webmasters that change the htaccess so hotlinked images show something vulgar such as goatse.

A good thing in this case; otherwise I wouldn't have been motivated to write my style (CSS for Stylish: »Re: is picture link allowed) to automatically resize large hot-linked images down to the typical BBR large thumbnail size (for anyone using Firefox, though it--the CSS--could work in any browser).

Also, there's a Firefox add-on called Rehost Image (»addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9221) which would/could be useful if BBR supported ftp for uploading images (which is not something I'm suggesting--just saying there's another alternative to consider for "image fetching").]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Add-an-image-fetcher-22937070 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 05:27:26 EDT Re: Add an image fetcher? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Add-an-image-fetcher-22807823 said by drew:

Well it may block all missing plugin requests a user can click the "More Information" button then Media tab and determine what they need.

You still won't see any flash. But you will no longer be bothered by the "need to install flash" notices.

Just FYI, nobody goes out of their way to embed the Youtube videos -- people are just entering "links only". DSLR automatically embeds the video whenever anyone simply types a Youtube URL. (I noticed this to my own surprise when entering a URL once.) I assume Justin chose to do this as a courtesy.

If you don't want Firefox bugging you about installing Flash (or other plugins /extensions based on the presence of arbitrary page content and MIME types) I'm sure you can simply shut those reminders off somehow; that would be more effective. I certainly can't imagine that this is the only site you encounter with such content.

That's just silly in my opinion. By that argument they should just turn off the ability to upload any attachments, most HTML, YouTube embedding, etc. Not to mention that you're simply assuming that most or all of the images would have restraints against such redistribution. If your web site is not intended to be viewed then don't make it public -- do you take similar issue with Google and Wayback Machine caching?

I have no intention of ever installing Flash Player on Fx. I think only links to YouTube should be allowed in the forums. I didn't join this site to watch movies on it.

Who spends a lot of time downloading images to upload to this site? I don't do that at all. The only images I upload here are Printscreen captures and some of my photos to my gallery page. I think this is a non issue. I don't see images in forums here other than screen captures. I do see more and more embedding flash movies which should be banned. Links only should be allowed.

Makes perfect sense.

And the objections on copyright grounds are hilarious! Consider how many copyrighted images are used here by the site for forum headers and the hundreds of thousands of copyrighted images in avatars, and that none of them were granted permission to be used here. There is no site liability beyond compliance with a possible takedown notice. If the graphic was easily found and deleted (which this would expedite) it would actually ease some of the administrative burden.
