Is there no way of setting up a donate option on the forum..just thinking that if enough folk kindly donate to the forums up keep it could pave the way forward for a better sever and a more user friendly image hosting program...not that there is anything wrong with the forum as i like the place but i can't get my head around posting pictures and i do have a lot of them.. :D

It would be worth it plus it's somewhere to store back-up your pics and here are the instructions for getting the link to be inserted after clicking the image icon.

Please Note: some websites require you to link directly to a photo, instead of the photo page.

"Example of a photo URL (note the .jpg at the end): http://www.flickr.com/photos/132375_0ca82ae31e.jpg
Example of a photo page URL (note no .jpg at the end): http://www.flickr.com/photos/eric/132375/
Get a direct URL to it

Click a photo to open it.
Click the Download icon.
Click View all sizes.
Click on the size you want to see.
Right-click the image.
Select Copy Image Location or Copy Image URL (text may vary per browser)."

This gives you the link to paste after clicking the image icon

In a very visually oriented world I reckon it's a very big minus point not being able post images. Going through a third party is a huge turn- off. Maybe thats the whole point though ??

You are spot on Murry..although i will eventually get my head around it i find it a tad more awkward having to go through a third party..

Providing your Facebook page is set to public you should be able to just upload your photos there.
Once you have uploaded your photo to Facebook just right click it (on Facebook) and "Copy Image Address"

Then stick between the IMG codes in a reply as per below:
