TDH Reference Gallery Moved

You've added the Prepro 3 helmet shots, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the update!

FWIW, it is possible to set it up where hotlinking is enabled if the referrer is on the same domain, but disable hotlinking from other domains. Seems reasonable to embed a picture in a thread, if it's hosted on the same domain.

That's how it is set up at the moment, though it may get locked down tighter eventually, if it becomes a problem. The reference gallery images are just WAY too big to embed in posts. Most are over 1200 px across!

I see. An alternative might be to batch compress all the ref photos to 640x480 into a "lo-res" directory, and any hotlinks from /forums/ could be referred to the lo-res version. I just like the idea of having photos inline, although I see the reason for not loading 4MB photos every time they're linked.

That's all The Dent's territory.

It makes sense to me, and it would be easy enough to do those redirects.

Both bandwidth and screen size makes it a bad idea to put high res pics inline. In my experience, the mods that auto resize images in the forum work, but slow the pages down hugely.
