As I am sure you can tell, I started this thread a long time ago. My mention of the paid hosting space brought back some unpleasant memories. It's not that I don't appreciate the value of having this board hosted for "FREE" as they like to put it. Of course "FREE" comes with a catch. They get to run their advertising that they get paid for based on the membership count and the traffic on a given board. Because they probably host thousands of these "FREE" boards they probably use one hell of a lot of server space. I would guess that is why they don'twant to provide space for all the pictures which are real space hogs. However, their off to sell space is a real ripoff. I bought some of it twice and it nowhere near amounted to what they claimed. I could not get the amount of picture syorage in the soace they claimed they sold me. I considered it a lesson learned and decided not to do it anymore. There just isn't any reason to do so when you can get tons of free space on host sites like Photobucket. The problem is that it is kind of confusing for people who have not done it and learned all the tricks. In the near future I plan on sending out an all member news letter with what I hope are simple and easy to follow instructions for posting pictures on this board.
Later...
