 * Hi,
 * We get lots of replies on our forums and we got tons of image uploads, the issue
   is, our server space is very limited, so we dont want to user our server to host
   the uploaded images.
 * With the PRO version, Is is possible to upload images to an external server or
   maybe with imgur, with imgur api:

 * Hi there,
    At this time, the [pro plugin](https://potentplugins.com/downloads/image-upload-for-bbpress-pro-wordpress-plugin/)
   only supports local storage. However, it does have the ability to downsize and
   compress images to reduce the amount of disk space they use.

 * Do you have a plan to add this feature in future?
 * Thanks

 * It’s definitely a feature that makes sense, but I’m pretty swamped right now.
   I’ve added it to my to-do list to look into, with a link back to this thread,
   but unfortunately I can’t make any promises or provide an ETA at this point –
   sorry about that.

 * Great! Thanks. Please let us know when you add this feature. We will purchase
   right away.
 * Thanks
