Question RichardS...
When someone uploads an image to the forum, does it actually get uploaded? Does a copy of what ever it was actually then reside in the forum??
Or does it always remain as a link to where ever the item came from. And if the user deletes the item (or dropbox ruins the way the "public" folder works) then the item disappears from the forum?
Is there any way to have the uploaded image actually become a permanent part of the thread?? If not then over time these threads and the valuable information they contain will change and evaporate as users change pc's and move photos around, without realizing that they just broke the connection to the forum by just moving a photo to a different folder or giving it a new name.
Dropbox has broken the Public folder that used to work to upload images, etc.
What is the best way going forward to do this?
