Re: Caching posted images

What about instead of seeking for problems and making assumptions, we focus on solutions and the details I described?

Shared hostings are not my problem, neither the server space.

The local directory will stay the same, and even if it not, the script could always generate the URL on the fly from the forum's config when displaying the post.

And I know this solution works, since I saw it working on one forum with lots of users, using Invision Power Board. It works like a charm, and users don't need to worry that whatever external images they embed in their posts, they will never become invalid and disappear. So I wonder if Simple Machines forum (which I use) could do that too somehow, because my users post a lot of images which often become invalid.
