Images remotely hosted
 

Hey guys,

Just wondering how I would go about remotely hosting all my forums images (smileys, avatars, forum images) etc, on another site and remotely linking to them.

I have no clue how to do so and the images are eating away at my primary bandwidth.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Thanks

all you have to do is to set the image path correctly on the style properties

Make sure you own the other site though because I can speak from experience when I say webmasters don't like it when people hotlink their images.

Oh, the style properties...stupid me! :paranoid:

Thanks Xenon!

Eep, slight problem. (I know you're getting sick of me! :P)

I've uploaded all the images to another server and have specified the correct path to them. However, when I refresh the forum index, they won't show up and display a nice big red x just to annoy me. I know they are there and all the files leading to it having been chmodded to 777.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Right-click them, select Properties, and make sure the URL is correct. The server also might have hotlink protection.
