You need an online photo hosting service like Imgur. We can't post pictures direct to this forum. They must go through a link. Go to imgur.com and sign up for free. Post photos there kinda like you would attach to an e-mail. Then from your album, select pictures and then click on the link for forums. Then you can go to your post here and paste the pictures. Sounds complicated but I've posted hundreds here and I'm not a tech person. Once you get the hang of it it's easy.
There are lots of Imgur tutorials on Youtube.... If you're already paying ransom to Photobucket, that works too.

Thanks bro for your kind elabration. It's useful!
btw, I am shocked this forum doesn't support to attach pictures in the thread directly. I think it is a must-have feature ten years ago?

Our benefactor host, Britt, presents, maintains and finances this site out of his own pocket. I'm not that tech savvy but I believe using links saves a great many GB's of memory for a server to maintain. If I've posted pictures in the hundreds, surely there are thousands on here. I would think bigger memory servers are much more expensive? Notice you don't see the advertising cluttering the site so there's no revenue like the larger sites with 50K users or members gets. Our group interest is somewhat limited. At least it's a site and not just a pain in the butt Facebook page. Enjoy it for what it is. Looking forward to your pictures!

Oh...Understand now. Yes. To maintain a website is not a easy work, I show my respect to the admin team! Thanks so much!
