Autoplay is exactly the reason why I never ever ever go to big Network fancy websites that send you 10 trillion things before you get to the text sentence or two you wanted to read.
websites of MSM companies are like the gulag archipelago, many of them won’t let you go. It’s like the roach motel, they check in but they can’t check out.
that is why I always post a simple picture of any free republic story that requires a photo, so that others don’t have to go to that network.
but so few freepers know how to post photos.
it’s crazy, there will be 100 responses and no one post the photo of the story.
Agreed. Bump!
IMHO, images posted to FR should not have a width greater than 600 pixels. This is easily done by adding the width=600 qualifier to the img tag.
“it’s crazy, there will be 100 responses and no one post the photo of the story.”
Then on some threads, there will be half a dozen video clips posted having little or nothing to do with the story, and they all auto-play, eating up bandwidth. No problem for people with fast internet and unlimited data, not so good for people clicking on the thread only to find a chunk of their plan just got used up viewing some inane video clip.
I used to use photobucket to post pics, but they stopped free 3rd party hosting recently. What site(s) do you recommend?
