Another method to post pics ?
Yes, using a pic host service to hot-link the pics instead of the forums attachment method. It's one extra step but the host that I use/prefer allows full size hot linking (not a thumbnail). Be sure to re-size to no more than 650 wide and 1300 pixels high if the picture exceeds those dimensions.
All you have to do is copy the url of the image once you've uploaded to a host site and then when you reply to a thread, click the image button once, paste the url and then click the "Img" button a second time...
Here is a screen shot of the line you need to copy on the site I use (pics-hosting.c0m) You can use the "preview" button instead of the "submit" button to check your post first. (this is also a good time to check to see if someone else has just posted a reply before you, just scroll down after clicking the preview button and check below your previewed post) you might need to pick a new picture and start over! (it happens occasionally in the game threads)
Not many of the allowed hosting sites permit hot-linking though, (they provide thumbnails instead) pics-hosting for one, does. They are easy to use with or without the free registration.
With registration and being logged in there, you won't have to keep closing the adverts.
Hope this will help some members, to all you members that use English as a second language, I hope you can understand. My hat is off to all of you, I wish I knew a second language! I can understand all of you, it's all good...
I am still getting an occasional error here when simply accessing any new page. Few days ago I tried using a forum attachment picture (cause it was huge and I did not want to re-size it) and it wouldn't take. I thought it was because the pic was too big, later realizing it was the forum after seeing this thread, the drop off in responses in pic games and various post across the board with explanations for why there were no previews...
PrixViande, I see you're active in the number game, have you tried the PAG thread?

(using preview I see that buckethead has also responded with relevant information
