Ok, just a mechanical question here: surprisingly after all this time I did not know this. I deleted some attached pics to a thread, but did not remove them by using the BF user CP tag, and left the img tags in the post and the pictures still show!

Am I to understand that I did not have to delete all those old pics I nuked last year to free up space? That I could have just removed them individually from the posts but left the image references still in the message? Doh! :eek: :( :confused:

The only change is that no attachment shows as being on the thread, and the little thumbnails don't show at the bottom of my post. I just did it with my S-1 thread, and exited and logged back in and the pics are still there. So it's like I can post all the pics I want without using server space beyond what is allocated for the text? :confused:

Just trying to figure this out. Thanks for any info.

P.S. Just checked all of Steve's pics and sure enough pics in the post but no thumbnails. So obvious I missed it. Can't believe I deleted all those old pics for nothing. :mad:
