Photo Transfer Device?

A fellow ABer has recently asked how photos off his computer can be placed on AnswerBank, a suggestion was via tinypic.

Would it be at all possible for AnswerBank to incorporate some kind of easy photo transfer device?

Good idea aog

Like an upload option where you can get your pics straight from your computer onto AB

Hi AOG. The thing with hosting photos on our server is:

1. It's quite a lot of data to hold on to - and may become expensive.
2. We'd be liable for hosting something horrible, if someone posted something horrible.
3. The way around these problems is hard moderating and heavy management of old images - neither of which are very fun for the community

However, we would like to incorporate flickr into the system - so you can post Flickr urls and the image would be embedded.

This would be a good halfway house? You could upload to flickr and then post the link here?

It would be nice, I agree.
