This vBulletin 4 product imports external images in your posts from external servers or paths into a specific path, normally your forum's image folder.
Differently than the previous product Image Cache for vBulletin 3.x., it parses the posts at regular intervals for new images and replaces the external references in the background. Also, instead of using only a single folder, it creates folders for years and months, making it much easier to handle large quantities of images. The source and destination image URL's are stored into database, too, avoiding unnecessary duplicates.
It moves and optionally converts images from one place to another. It is a handy tool in order to keep your images local to your forums.
Version 1.0.4 is temporarily in BETA stage until the users have confirmed the newly requested features.
Version 1.0.5 is still in BETA stage. It adds a new bunch of additional features, one of which allows you to test your mathematical understanding ... and a few other to fine-tune CURL and socket timeouts, and resizing on the fly of too large images. If you don't know what these options do, please leave them at their default values.
Can you make this work for signatures, or at least some curl script to just display signature images so I can keep SSL on my site?
It works for images of any kind on any site which will allow hotlinking. It does not influence or depend on SSL, but it may not work for you, if the server isn't allowing to pull in external data.
I'm thinking about installing this and have a question.
Some of my users are using these pay per view image sites, and they're linking images on my forum. I would like to know if your plugin will -
Delete the link attached to these images?
You see they post the images, but when you click on the image they redirect you to some spammy website which really bugs me. Can your plugin remove this link also?
I understand I will host the image, but when I'm hosting the image, will I now be hardlinking my images to their websites?

Thanks for your time and workmanship!
I'm sorry, this product is thought of hosting images only. But you could pretty easily replace the offending links with a query from phpMyAdmin, such as:
Code:
UPDATE post SET pagetext=REPLACE(pagetext, 'www.offending-host.tld', 'localhost')
The 'localhost' entry makes sure nobody ever will go anywhere but the own PC, but of course this may also not be desired (then, replace with a host of your choice). You will also have to truncate the postparsed table after such changes, and, as always, make a backup before testing
