Unless SEs are smarter than that and know what to load when their bots crawl stuff..  |
No, it's not that deep - Its someone who wants to try and assert authority, regarding his personal preferences. Saying that its a better user experience to have a small thumbnail from a image host, rather than just showing the image in the post. That its 'easier on the eye' than a 'huge' (regular size, scaled down by forum if need like GFY does) image...
This is laughable nonsense of course, because the image host wants me to use, gives you popups, and pop unders, make you click twice to get to the pic, and then disables the back button on the browser, meaning you can't get back to the forum without retyping the URL in a new tab...
But on top of that, he also gives the reason that the inline images 'Add to the server load'... Ridiculous.
Infact, I don't know where to start with his idiocy. I could rip him a new one, but I can't be bothered really. There are more important battles to fight that are actually worth my time...
He's not trolling. Just a genuine weirdo... I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going mad, as it was stated with such authority, you would think he was a mod on the forum. But like I say, better things to do than flame wars with people that are incorrect to begin with...
