Default Why do people post two images?

Lately I've been seeing people not only attach an image, but also link to the thumbnail itself.

What is the point in doing that? It's just more work! :dunno:

The point is to make the image embedded in the post itself, rather than as an attachment.

It is more work; but that's why.

Isn't that the exact opposite of society-at-large today? Do the easy work yourself and make everyone else work extra. I guess I'm surprised that so many people choice instead the right choice to go the extra mile to make it easier on a fellow member.

Good job guys! :thumbup:

Now that we have an awesome server, its coo

Back when we had our old servers, I would refrain from attaching, and just upload to my own server, cause this site used to have more traffic than it can handle:happysad:

Well, if you hop over to RX7club for example, the attached images aren't even shown in a thumbnail so you add the extra code to show the image. I'll sometimes do that here, just because.
