Pic8 is great, but when one of it's image hosts has problems, we lose a large portion of image content on Poal waiting for that host to return. By uploading posted images to more than one image host, we can spread out the hosting and have backups. Instead of giving just the one URL for the uploaded image, give the primary URL and at least one secondary URL for a different image host. We can paste the secondary mirror links in the expando content text area so people can have an alternative/backup link to the image. It sucks when a lot of Poal content is images that can't be loaded during these image host downtimes.
