Topic: Html?

Posted under General

Why doesn't e621 have html codes? I don't know the first thing about bandwidth or servers and all that internet stuff, so is there some obvious reason we don't have html? I just think it would be easier then trying to upload the pictures through tinypic or something to get a code.

Cuold... you rephrase your question please? I'm not sure I understand...

Do you mean like how Photobucket and Imageshack have "Copy these codes to show to other people:" boxes?

Oh maybe he's wanting HTML codes so he can EMBED images elsewhere?

That's what it sounds like to me.

It's a drain on bandwidth
It doesn't let ads impress
It doesn't give link backs to the artist
It doesn't allow users to vote or comment
It doesn't give an artist the link to address any take downs

Honestly personal embedding isn't something that is good for the nature of the site.

All this, yes, but I was waiting until we actually knew what the guy wanted before replying, just in case he actually meant, for example... the ability to use HTML codes in comments. Or... some other varient. The text as written PROBABLY means that's been said, but...

yeah, pretty much. We are an art archive, not an image host.
