ah, you misunderstand!
you will still see the images! you won't see "www.whatever.com/monkey.jpg", you'll see the actual image. we just won't be hosting it.
as for image linked by bandwidth theif.... that is so old school. nobody does that anymore. everyone understands that images float around the interwebs.
here is an example of an image hosted somewhere else, and when you choose "external URL" (this image is on imgur):
Image hosting takes up a boatload of bandwidth. Yes linking to hosting sites is a good way to do it. On the site I moderated, we used bbc to post images.

That could happen when you link directly to an image from a normal website.
But that dog is in a picture storage service.

i hope so. it's not changing how images work, it's just that we won't put them on our servers. you can still have PLENTY of helpful images in the forums :P

Then I don't understand your objection. The system works and is easily implemented.

no.
This is all pretty standard practice these days, it's why so many image hosting services have cropped up. It's a model that is proven and works. Why bog down chess.com's servers storing, hosting and serving up images. That's someone else's core competency.
The blog post you are linking to seems to be a draft (They say: [insert cool feature] and [anoying bug]), if i where from chess.com staff, i would never post that. Am i wrong?

If you want to post something from a website that doesn´t allow hotlinking (something that you will only know after you post the image), you will have to return to the website where you saw it, dowload it, upload it to imgur (or some other pictore storage service) and then link it here like you have done.
And they are going to erase the abbility to upload directly anyway, so at this point, I only would have liked to see if they were going to delete the pictures already stored here, which would leave many threads with a lot of blank spaces.
And I guess that the answer of "I still don´t know" means "yes, we are going to erase them".
So your saying on V3, we'll need post 513 to post pics, and no more right click copy image ??
