| Summary: | Uploading by URL |
| Description: | The upload form should support the ability to explicitly use URLs to upload. That can be done already by pasting the URL into the open file dialog window, but that means the image is first downloaded to the local computer and then it is uploaded from that. This means a clutter on the local PC, extra time, and sometimes it doesn't even work, for example in certain browsers where there are spaces (%20) in the URL. Having an option to upload an image directly by the URL would ease the process and would make the completion of the source field sort of pointless. |

| It does. Put the link to the image in the 'source' field. |

| Heh... It should be stated on the upload page it does actually supports URL uploading, I lived in oblivion, and I feel bad now. |

| We've removed this "feature" as it isn't really appropriate these days. |
