This is an idea that doesn't suck.

But linking to them doesn't eat up server capacity. And there are a lot of free imagehosts around to do the hosting.

Yeah, I was thinking she wanted photos in the profile, not links to the same. Sorry if I misunderstood.

No, I guess you didn't misunderstand at all. But what she suggested can be just as easily achieved by simply embedding a link, as we usually do when posting pictures.

The difference being, I would never post any private information on facebook. This forum on the other hand isn't a giant marketing profile generator.

You did not misunderstand. Photos in the profile was what I was suggesting. Much like the photo albums people have on facebook. Smile

Well, I already turned it into Twitter.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

They'd only be linked anyway so capacity won't be an issue?

What about just allowing one album per person, with a maximum of 5 photos? And the size/quality of the photo would have to be scaled down?

I like the idea. The software we use doesn't do.this. natively, but it might be possible to do with a plugin.
