    Image in another server

    Hello,
    I am interested to use vBulletin to host a large forum and I would like to ask whether it is possible to set up the forum like this:
    1. Web server
    2. Database
    3. Image server

    I want to have a separate server for image because we want to
    1. decrease the load in the web server
    2. saving money on bandwidth by putting the server in a host with cheaper bandwidth.

    Thanks
    Pang

      I have vbulletin in one hosting account and I have another hosting account from another company. Can i set up vbulletin to use the second account to upload files to? If so how can I do it?

            The default images can be on a different server by setting the StyleVars. Attachments are a bit more complicated.

              Would it be possible without code modifications?

                Accessing files, yes, I'm not sure about actually writing attachments to a seperate server.

                      I however would still like to know if it is possible to write files to another server with stock vBulletin and if not, if that could be considered for a future version?

                            Colin F,

                            Can you confirm that it is possible to store ATTACHMENTS on another server other than the Web Server? If so, is this done with symlinks or some other method?

                              I can confirm that it can be done, but I don't know how. I just heard the devs say it can be done.
