For a site I want to be doing I want to use some galleries I have on my current site with the same urls to save me re-uploading them, would that be ok to do?
Would uploading them really take that long? Just FTP the whole thing into their own folder. I'm assuming you already have a pictures gallery software/script set up where all you have to do is upload the images and assign the location...?
Its fine to do but will just cause use of bandwidth for the other site to go higher. Also if that server goes down then your site will work without pictures.
Yep, but I have a good server I like to use for my images and keep things seperate, as long as it is ok and won't be punished or anything because of it then it's all good. Thanks
Well, I keep my images server seperate from the main server, so would prefer to use the same image urls.
Understood. But Aaron does make a very good point. If your pictures dump goes down, you are basically SOL. Not just one site, but all of your sites are unusuable. Sounds just a little bit suicidal.
Not unusable, the galleries are only part of the site, most people come from the other content links, you have seen my site you have a link on, a lot of outgoing links to other sites which people come for.
