Posting photos in a thread
Original post
Not many seem to be doing so, is it encouraged, discouraged? Just wondering if it causes our Host any issues.
Anyway, the how to as far as I have found:
Photos need to be uploaded to some other web based photo hosting service. I've used dropbox, putting photos in my public folder then copying the 'public link', pasting it into the post, then the picture appears in that place in the post.
Presumably it would work the same with Flickr or any other photo hosting / sharing network including Facebook etc?

@geeves, yes I have found this too. Is fun trying out ways to circumnavigate those 'rules' though. :-)
I give up! I managed to fiddle around and get a dropbox link ending in jpg which works perfectly in Firefox and Safari but does not even display in this forum. This is it:-
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsnkaa5rumv8uuz/9.jpg
And as text:-
"https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsnkaa5rumv8uuz/9.jpg"
I hate to be defeated but am almost so! It doesn't really matter.
