There's a lot to be said for having your own dotcom :-)
Mine costs about US$130 every three years, and there are no storage, upload or download limits.
You're not limited by email account attachment size limitations or mail fret-bots that think you might be sending something nefarious.
People downloading your files don't have to set up dodgy accounts or wade through minefields of misleading links etc etc.
Well that's odd; this forum still copies the original file to their server and displays that.
Are you sure you can't hot-link? (Although it's not really hot-linking; its actually automatically copying and saving).
Let's try it with some smilies from another site I often visit:
![]()
Yep, same thing.
The only disadvantage of this over direct hot-linking is that this image won't change if the original one does, but I don't see how that's such an issue.
Or am I missing something?
