hi guys, im having trouble deciding on the approach to go about.

i want peopel to be able to upload images so should i have them upload it into a db using BLOB or should i have them upload it to the web server?

i’ve been reading people say that the web server is probably better to use, but i dont know about that using AS.

anyone got a preference or a good approach?

I don’t mind doing either one, but i don’t know, i read some folks are paranoid about DB corruption.

any advice, let me know.
