In an effort to improve the categorization of the Galleries, I've added some new categories!
Under Audio, there is now
Under Animation & Videos (Previously Animation & Flash)
And I've added a brand new major category "Streaming," so you have a proper place to put all those Streaming Notification Images, with subcategories:
Additionally, if you are uploading screenshots of a video game do not put them in Animation & Flash -> Games. Screenshots belong in Photography -> Screenshots (Thank you!)
If something is categorized incorrectly, feel free to report it using the Ticket tool, and a staff member such as myself or a gallery mod will properly categorize it. (File as Galleries -> Wrong Category).
Are there any other categories we need? Feel free to submit a request in this thread!
Under Audio, there is now
- Podcast
- Instrumental
- Singing
- Plays (also for Dramas!)
Under Animation & Videos (Previously Animation & Flash)
- Animations (Gifs and Non-Interactive Flash Files)
- Games (Flash Files designed to be played as a game)
- Interactive (Flash files that are interactive, but aren't really games)
- Let's Play (For Cooltrainers to post their LP videos)
- Video Podcasts (For Video Podcasts and Vlogs)
- Videos (Previously Movies. Really a Catch-all)

The Streaming section should allow you to link directly to images instead of uploading them. That'll allow to use scripted images to keep the info automatically updated, like this one that I made for Frosti here: http://tacosareawesome.com/online/image.png

Any reason in specific, or do you just hate me? I know you hate me but am not sure if that's the reason.

Too many issues with safety, copyright, hot linking, bandwidth. Safer to control data on our end.

It is very easy to make a image do a redirect. Also it is hard to make a checker and for the site to check each image before load. and the image if broken can cause bad rep for the site. Or linking to a huge image or GIF in a hope to crash the browser. But the worst, Tracking of pages, users and history of users by the server the image is on.
Safety first.

It is very easy to make an image do a redirect. Here is some example code:
code:
Adding external images as a feature to our site is not going to happen. Certainly people post external images using the [img] tag, but we are not going to create a gallery for them.

@Nav: I tried this, and it didn't work... and if it's possible, why allow images at all?

Timothy Because images are needed. But we don't plan to add third party content that could disappear at any time to our galleries. That breaks our user experience. We also don't want such images there. End of Discussion.
