Updated section 8 to add image hosting restrictions and approved sites.

8.) Image size and hosting restrictions

All images are to meet both size restrictions, 1024x768 pixels and 500 KB.
In general threads images (including GIFs) up to the above mentioned sizes can be posted using the button.
Images larger than 1024x768 pixels and 500 kb should be posted as a link using the button or as a thumbnail rather than embedding them in the thread.
If you are posting a lot of images, or quoting a post with images they should also be converted into links. This is out of courtesy to other members so that the forum layout is not distorted by large images, and so that the thread does not take a very long time to load.
For image showcase threads, this rule can be relaxed but it is still advisable to post thumbnails for very large images rather than embedding them.

NOTE: When posting multiple GIFs, the combined file sizes of all GIFs in the post must not exceed 500kb.

For example, you may post a single 500kb (or smaller) GIF, or maybe you might post 2 x 250kb GIFs.

However, 3 x 200kb GIFs would exceed the 500kb filesize limit, and thus, not allowed.

Images may only be posted using approved image hosts. The approved image hosting services are:

imgur, photobucket, twitter, facebook, tumblr, instagram, abload, gyazo, postimage, dropbox, steam, casimages, deviantart, flickr
