:::Images cause a tiny bit more server load, and when lots of people use images in signatures, it gets pretty heavy, pretty quickly. There's also the issue of animated images, which are even bigger. And lastly would be normal sprites, which are generally used for actual articles, suddenly being used everywhere (making them hard to update, etc). All in all, it's not a big load, but it adds up. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 04:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC) | :::Images cause a tiny bit more server load, and when lots of people use images in signatures, it gets pretty heavy, pretty quickly.

:::::I don't know any way to test it, so I can't say exactly. I do know that more images on a page = more loading time... and also, since the images are all on the same server, it'll end up using bandwidth no matter how you link it. Much in the same way that you could cause server load if you linked to Bulbapedia images on a ''different'' website. | |||
:::::All in all, I don't think how you link to the image will make any difference, seeing as the wiki-coding for the image is basically a shortcut of a direct link (in the way that MediaWiki works). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 17:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
