Hack Request: Avatars on other servers

[Wayne Luke]

Maybe if people looked around the vBulletin system and learned how to use it, you will see that a hack is not needed to store all images except avatars on another server.

If you want to do this, simply edit the imagesfolder variable.

If you really must have avatars on another server, look at Kier's Avatar's as files hack. I am sure you can make the appropriate changes needed.

In my Personal Opinion, installing a hack like this only degrades the quality of the Internet and in the long run will be more hassle than the 2 or 3 bucks you will save in bandwidth. The hassles will involve more than just a single server. They will involve dissatisfied users, broken images, increase loading times. A lot of hassle when there are so many other ways to decrease bandwidth that are more effective, professional and will make your users happy.

The choice to do this is yours though.
