    easiest way I found was to start a photo bucket account, and get the URL off there
    There are only two types of bikers...
    those that have layed it down, and
    those that have not layed it down...YET!

        Never understood why we can't post pics directly, as on my ST site(also V bulletin). Works great.

              Hosting Bandwidth... Thats why...It takes a considerable amount to host photo's and it cost's !!

              The owners of the ST site are obviously happy to absorb the cost, or have found a way of passing it on.

                  Most of the sites I'm on that allow actual uploading of pictures have premium memberships AND ads. Premium members don't get the ads, and even on those sites, it's encouraged to host pictures on an external site to help out with bandwidth in some cases (but not all). I've seen the bandwidth used by pictures drag a site that allows uploading of pictures down to a crawl, but they upgraded everything, and users pitched in with donations and premium membership purchases. But in many cases that is the exception, and this site is really the exception, with no ads, and no hitting you up for membership fees and stuff.
