That photo thing you’re using Matt, shows more than your pictures; it features ads and pictures of fat guts and various other crap. Can’t you load to your device directly and attach from there? :o

I agree, another consideration of 3rd party image hosting is that they can change their access and a bulletin board/forum like this ends up with no images, such as happened previously.
IMHO, all images should be uploaded, not 3rd party hosted.

Why do you need to use a 3rd party site and not just load images direct to the Forum as required?
Are you storing all your images of everything in life to the same 3rd party hosting, and then just linking for convenience?

That site you're using is giving you free hosting because part of their T&Cs is that you direct link to them from this Forum.
That allows them to essentially use this Forum as a way into their 'Click Bait' advertising income, hence the bit that says:
The outgoing link should lead the user directly to our web page without any interstitial pages or interruptions. This allows your users to get access to the full-resolution images, and also helps us pay our bills.

Although your pictures are interesting, they come with all the other crap that your host includes. Dump it and go direct. Get an iPad and don’t look back, take a photo with it and send straight here. 8) I suppose you could do it on the phone but I don’t know how.

if you connect your phone to your computer via usb lead you should be able to download the photos to a file and pick them off that to post.

I do all of mine directly from an android phone, click add file then select from the phone camera directory.
