Rationale: One of the Google Site Speed or YSlow recommendations is that you put static images onto a separate subdomain, or a content delivery network.
This allows the browser to perform parallel downloads of those images.
I have tried unsuccessfully to edit the various imageset locations to achieve this.
Objective: I would like a universal location switch somewhere, which I can edit, so that I can then move all my images (the imageset and smilies folder, for example) onto another location like subdomain.myforums.com or a CDN. It is currently very difficult to achieve (I'm sure it's possible, but I couldn't manage it); and the benefit is significant.
Make it easier for CDN of images, parallel download

An RFC for 3.1 already exists here: viewtopic.php?f=84&t=33213
Please think before you post.
