I think Imageshack should be excluded from the prohibition of using remotely linked images.
The reason for the existence Imageshack is that you can upload your pics there without having anyone bitching for traffic abuse and stuff. You don't need to resize your photos and shrink them down to below 100KBytes with the inevitable loss of quality.
Yeah, I know that, if you put some photos with a 1600+ px resolution into a thread here, the whole thing would get FUBAR, but if it was limited to showing thumbnails only?

The reason for my request is:
I'd really like to put some of my pics from my trip to Ireland in the photos forum as well as in my blog. For the latter, I'd just ned to upload them and put some thumbnails in my entry, where as for this forum, I'd have to shrink,crop, rename and compress them, which can be a real PITA if you want to show like 20 pics.
By using Imageshack, I'd save meself quite some hassle, since I'd just have to copy and paste the URLs for the thumbnails from the Image shack site into my thread.

Be nice and save me some hassle...and I Promise, no one will be bitching about stolen traffic or something. Not even the 56K users, because I'll only use thumbs.

You could also use Eno's idea of posting the thumbnails in your topic. Link these to the URL of the appropriate images hosted on Imageshack or any other remote host.

I don't see any problem with that as it's exactly the same as posting a link to the image in the topic.

PS. Just as long as you upload the thumbnails here & post them in the usual way.
