    It'd be better if you uploaded the actual photo of the cartoon rather than make us click on the link, which many of us won't bother to do.

    Some sites will allow you to insert an [img] link pointing to the image directly on its original site. I do that a lot, but it's not without controversy; some consider such "deep linking" to be unfairly leeching bandwidth of the hosting site. (PriusChat's software caches those images, though, so it doesn't use a lot of the hosting site's bandwidth.) Nevertheless, some sites will decline to serve the image from a link on a PriusChat page, considering it an unauthorized cross-site request. Actually uploading a copy of the image gets around that, but is generally not good form for copyright reasons.

    When only the link is there and not the picture, we can imagine that the cartoon might have been funny, rather than some stupid nonsense making the same ridiculous bigoted-old-white-man-stuck-in-the-past argument that we've seen a million times before, but in an even less funny, even less imaginative way.

    So there is a benefit to having just the link.

    Yes, agreed... I think because I clicked the stupid link and it was such a stupid pathetic worthless cartoon I'd of wished it was just the garbage I scrolled past rather than clicking on it.
