Allow only certain IMG hosts

I would like to allow the use of only the relevant img host service (imgur, photobucket, imgshack) for embed pictures in the forum. In fact, many forum users use services that do not allow a large use of bandwith or they delete pics soon.

Is there an add-on for something like that to which I could block all other domains except selected??

Thank you for replying!

Yeah :( I have only found this great mod but it's only for v4. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=262255

Don't know how to make him work on v3.8. :(

What I did about this was to provide a free image hosting service for my membership that is onboard and on same host as the board - and they use it almost exclusively now. I have since installed it on two other folks boards and it's very well received.

It allows upload via hotlink as well as upload from computer. Once the images are there they don't go away and you can administer them as well.

Get the freeware for this at: codefuture.co.uk (CF Image Host) and upload it to your server.

Provide a link to it for your members by adding a clicky button in all the WYSIWYG and quick editors.

You'll be amazed.

That one seems okay at first glance, but I note it isn't supported by the author and does DB changes....

Then members will not get a notification that image host is not allowed before they send a message.

they'll soon know when there image dont appear!
announcements are good to.
i have what images hosts are not allowed in rules. if a member dont obey they will get a warning, or a nice pm telling them.
even if you do black list, you can install the read a thread hack, that way everyone will read the update.
