With all the linked images on TBN using the [image] tag I think we are putting the community in a slightly risky position. I've already noticed that some signatures on old posts are the famous red 'x' in a box as the owner of the graphic on another web-site has moved/erased it.
I fear that some of the tremendously useful pictures posted in response to technical questions will be lost over time. Is there a way to pull them into TBN and keep them on the TBN server? Are there copyright issues / other issues regarding this ... should the practice be discouraged? Should we look for another way to provide the information ...
Just some general thoughts - would be a shame in a year or two to look back at some obviously good posts but not be able to see what was beign discussed.
Guilty as anyone,
Patrick
