You would think with all the computer technology some one would have come up with posting photos right from your computer.
1st Class members can "attach" up to three photos directly from their computer provided they are each under 70kb in file size. The attached photos are still uploaded however when the post is "submitted" - it just happens automatically.
Posting photos directly from one's computer presents many problems (I assume you mean here that the photo lives on your hard drive and isn't uploaded). In order to display such a photo, the MLS server would need to contact your computer and fetch the photo at least once, which results in an upload anyway.
If the MLS server only provided the location of the photo and left it up to the viewer's computer to fetch it while browsing the Net, that would mean every computer trying to display the photo would have to fetch it from your computer at least once, which could, potentially at least, bring your computer and its Net connection to its knees. Also, your computer probably isn't always on, and even if it was, it isn't connected to the Net in such a way as to act like a server without special software (like song file sharing software), which you'd have to download and install allowing access to your hard drive. Then you are suddenly faced with a whole host of new security problems, and you probably wouldn't want to do that anyway.
