: Nope, if the beloved forum accepts basic html, you have to link to outside
: source.
: Can post a pdf with an embedded image, but then you'd to link ot the outside
: pdf :)

I think this can't be done with the current software used to run this board, WebBBS (see link at the bottom of any page,) which is very limited, but low-cost. Even if WebBBS allow such kind of things, I think it's better not to do so - I don't know about you guys, but in my experience bungie.org sometimes get so slow and unresponsive, I don't want to add more stuff that will make it even more slow.

On other forums I frequent (two to be precise,) they use phpBB, an open-source bulletin board package for PCs. It allow a lot of nice stuff like avatars, polls, email notification, subscriptions, unlimited categories and ranks.

The thing I like the most is the categories. We could have a category just for Marathon-related items on eBay, another for Marathon-Halo connections, another for Marathon-plot theories, another for scenarios, etc... We can even have one for PiD and other games.

All this things, as good as they are, suck up more bandwidth than our simple, text-based board. Man, these are the days you want your own server to do this kind of stuff...
