@absinthe, I think you've partially answered a question I was going to ask!
I was going to say, if I took a picture with my digital camera at, say 1,900 x 1,400, would this take up more space on the Esato server than a 640 x 480 picture? The reason I'm asking is that Esato automatically reduces the size of pictures, so would the same picture, in 1900x1400 be the same size on the server as a picture taken at 640x480, as they both get reduced in size to the standard Esato size (which I can't remember offhand!)

There is a limit on 1Mb on the pics and size wise it's automatically sezised for best fit on the page. So just make sure the pic is less than 1Mb and the server takes care of the rest.

Is it entirely fair to be stealing the bandwidth off the other sites by hotlinking the images though?

its certainly a point to consider and one that is up to the individual members to decide and there are arguments both ways of course
I personally hotlink where possible so as to (partly) avoid potential copyright issues by taking a copy of the image myself and thus breaking the link to the possible owner
edit: I guess what I was trying to say here, though not very articulately, was "is stealing bad width better or worse than stealing images?"

If you've found a really big image on the web (a PC wallpaper for example) and wanna post it, be sure to use HTML image tags with a width attribute:
<img src="url-of-image" width="500">
This reduces the risk of the image completly FUBARing the page and generally annoying me.
(You could also upload it to the esato image uploader which will resize it to the proper width dimensions anyway
)

you could also resize it yourself as to not pull the page out of proportion

Using the width="500" wouldn't drag the page out of proportion if you are hotlinking a large image.

it does however still download for example a 1600 x 1200 picture and only display it at 500.. Which in itself is a waste of download time..
As long as the news pictures keep coming, firewalled where i am so can't view them unless they're on esato
