Not only does this needlessly use up valuable space on FR, it makes it most tedious for those with dial ups to load a thread.

Posting a picture on a thread DOES NOT use any of FR's bandwidth. It uses the bandwidth of the server where the picture is stored.

The pic gets from the server to FR and appears on FR how? Using a car, bicycle ?
