Just curious about something regarding pictures. I am wondering why we can only upload from a url link and embed the image using the image tags but not directly upload from one's computer?

To me, this makes things more complex especially regarding pictures one has paid for to use as character art but cannot post it on Photobucket for instance as that would be in violation of copyrights. As I understand it, the picture still belongs to the artist no matter if one paid for it or not. It would be easier if we could simply upload from our computer in this case so as not to infringe on copyright matters.

I don't know anything about managing a board or if this is something that can be changed to include this feature or not. I have a few pictures of characters but am unable to show them here because of this and that makes me sad and disappointed. If anyone knows of an alternative to photobucket that does not infringe on copyrights and does not include a blog either as I don't have one and don't ever plan on having one, any insights are greatly appreciated here. Thanks.

Many of us use DeviantArt in order to upload our photos as well as protect them as our own if that is any help. I can't answer the rest of your question though as it is more for our admins. I do not think it is just a feature they can turn on though as I'm sure they already would have if they could.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the response, Goblin. I actually sometimes do use DeviantArt as well, but had found a site where you can actually buy character portraits and show them as a character representation. The FAQ however says it still belongs to the respective artist though. I guess I'll wait for Rhi to see this and reply.

I know a lot of people don't like having to pay for pictures and I can understand that totally. It's just that sometimes it can be nice to have a unique picture that no one else will be using to represent a character concept.

The only way I know a member can show pics on here is by embedding the url inside the image tags, but not from one's computer directly. Just wondering about this is all as I think Remnants has this feature so don't know why SotE doesn't.
