why do you can't set a normal picture out a file in a forum?

Do you care to explain that? We can post images just fine? So that cannot be it.

I know Kongregate does it, but that may be because they must have loads and loads of storage space to put pictures in. Armorgames probably wants to conserve space and makes users first have to upload their picture to a host and then paste the image location.

Both of the posts take a bit to decode, Cenny. I don't get what you mean.

stop correcting people thats a bad habit unlimited power, i know you are posting in ever single forum so that a moderator would see it and think of making you a moderator, but maybe you should do that after becoming a moderator huh?

And jem, hate to break it to u but i think you are a total lunatic for opening a thread for such matter

He didn't correct someone
That's the second time someone has thought he was trying to be a mod. You are a full of yourself jerk to assume he is trying to be a mod.

Haha yeah. And the ironic thing was that sonam was correcting ulimited. Hmm...

For the love of God, this section was opened for this type of question. Instead of flaming, give helpful comments.

Aside from that, I still don't get your question jem...Do you mean why can't we upload pictures directly from our coms? That upsets me as well, but well...just start photobucket. But I still hope we can one day uplaod directly.

Yea, I hate having to link pictures from photobucket and all that instead of just pasting a picture directly into a comment. I was actually surprised after first coming here to find out you couldn't, as all the forums I'd been to, you could.

Okay, I think I have gotten it by now.

This is a gaming site, with a forum. It is a simple forum, and therefore it does not have the file uploading function some forums have.
It is not hard to just upload it somewhere else, though it might be annoying, and you hate doing so, but since there should be little reason to actually upload pictures for this page only, well.
Besides, it is better to collect the images somwhere else, instead of just uploading it for the forum, do you not think so?

The AG forums are build from scratch, which makes them rather simple, but easier to manage for the staff.

The album can be shut off from public, so noone but you decides who to see them, and who should not (in the way of where to put them, at least).
If you closes the album to the public, people will have to have your password, or a guest password to see the album, otherwise they will have to do with the uploaded pictures in the thread.

You mistake me, I was referring to the fact it would be tedious to upload the photos than loading it here.

...Whut?
It would be better to upload the image directly to the forums, than have them uploaded somewhere else, where you can delete them, if you do not want to show them anymore?
Sorry, not understanding, please explain.

Wait, is the whole thread about whether we should be allowed to upload directly from our computers rather than from photobucket or other sites? If it isn't consider all my posts null and spam.
