In fact the new version will have an MPI-based plugin system, so it will be able to work with existing uploaded images in many ways.

However the use of external images is not a good practice and technically not going to happen since it would allow image stealing and also could cause severe HTTP flaws (like sending a 404/File not found or what's worse a 401/Auth Needed).

You'll still have to upload your images which makes sure they will work safely.

I had to make a mini-script to be able to use the images at photobucket.com :P


Well I don't see the point of having remote images, when having a server with PHP (Which I assume you pay and have space available). I'm sure you have 1 MB for avatars in that server.

Yeah, but the bandwidth is a little bit less with just a redirect. The remote site serves my avatars. ;)

And there's also personal convenience.

Hack, hack, hack!

That's indeed stealing. Not going to happen in CBC, sorry.
