At no point does the image ever reside on ENWorlds server. The only difference is how my browser interprets what to do with the exact same hyperlink. If the server hosting the image ever removes it we will get the red x of broken image link.For instance [*url*]http://www.enworld.org/images/anniversary/buttons//quote.gif[*/url*]<a href="http://www.enworld.org/images/anniversary/buttons//quote.gif" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/images/anniversary/buttons//quote.gif</a>and [*img*]http://www.enworld.org/images/anniversary/buttons//quote.gif[*/img*]<img src="http://www.enworld.org/images/anniversary/buttons//quote.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />are both referencing the exact same url in the post and at no point does the ENWorld server actually have the image as part of the post on the server.Does this also mean then that posting links to images as also bad? For example [*url*]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/art_preview/20080414_114717_dh290uw3_0.jpg[*/url*]<a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/art_preview/20080414_114717_dh290uw3_0.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/art_preview/20080414_114717_dh290uw3_0.jpg</a>Would equally deprive WotC of page context to the image and advertising as the following would.[*img*]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/art_preview/20080414_114717_dh290uw3_0.jpg[*/img*] Edit: To clean up legibility and to ad that I read the linked thread above and consider this a separate issue. I have no problem with the don't repost whole articles bit and can understand the reason behind it. I just see the image issue as related but completely separate.</blockquote>
