It is separate software allowing upload and storage of images on your own server, and it is independent of the vBulletin installation completely. Unlike with attachments, there is no writing to the vB database and there is no issue at all if you upgrade, backup, etc because it has nothing to do with vBulletin.

Storage isn't a issue either because even the cheaper hosting allows for unlimited storage. The images are stored in the file system.

Ok now i get it, but why is it better than attachments?

Well this is the shortest article I have ever seen... Why didn't you just post this as a new thread somewhere?

Here is why: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....24&postcount=7

Also, it is usually faster to load images from your own server then to pull them from elsewhere.

That's the average of 1 and 5:

(1 + 5)/2 = 6/2 = 3

You need a minimum of 6 people to rate with 5 stars (and nothing lower), so that the average is raised to 4.5, and will be rounded to 5 stars in the icon display.

If you want 5 stars try writing a real article and not a short paragraph.

Yes, I had no idea this was posted as an article until the rating was brought up. I thought it was a question instead. :)

It was an article telling people that attachments is better than a hosting service.
