Hi Ben,

I agree with you on both issues of images disappearing over time and the overall load size of images, a few people however had been trying to do this with Extra Fields and were having problems getting images to display etc. The most streamlined way to achieve a solution as you say would be to grab the image from the external source and convert to a thumbnail that’s stored in the data base.

This solution would most probably have to come in module form to keep the pligg codebase as clean as possible and compatible without edits for future upgrades.

It may even be an idea to add this feature to the Image Upload module giving you an either Upload a file or Upload from external URL, definitely something i may look into in the future.
