Hi
I like this module, but I think users should have a choice when uploading picture...
For eg. instead of upload directly from HDD I would like to allow user to place URL to the picture from other website (eg. flickr). Can I do this with image field module or I need another separate module?
Thank you

You might try http://drupal.org/project/filefield_sources. It will NOT link to the image on Flickr, on the other hand it will allow users to enter a URL to an image, then *transfer* it to your own website. Still very early development though, it works but there are no configuration options.

As for linking to the image, I'd suggest Embedded Media Field, which just takes a direct Flickr URL. Or if you're looking for something lightweight, you could just set up a textfield and then theme it to print out an image instead.

The Drupal 5 version is no longer in development, so unless you upgrade you'll probably be out of luck with that feature.
