I cannot see how I may be able to post images - any clues?

They have to be uploaded to photo bucket or some similar site, then you insert a link and the photo appears.

If you go to the test forum here, you'll see a few posts that explain how and suggested picture size etc.

Why do it this way, it seems so long winded and un-neccessary.

I am administrator on another forum which uses exactly the same software as this and images can be uploaded directly from the members computer. So much simpler and doesn't involve a 3rd party.

My summation on why is $$.
Server hosting space costs money and direct picture uploads can suck up a lot of space.
Bandwidth also cost $.

No membership dues here. It is privately funded. Thank you Ted.

I personally don't know how much it does cost to host this site, nor do I know how large the database is either.

Yes I know and the other forum I am admin on is using exactly the same version. It is upgraded/modified to meet our needs without installing the newer versions. The software for forum I am looking at was set up in 2006.
