The question needed answered. After you did, I made it this new topic. I do it all the time. It really helps important topics and info from getting lost in the original ones they sprung from.
should also add that pretty much any image on the internet can be inserted in your post, depending on the internet browser you use getting the URL is easy, in google chrome when you right click on any pic, it gives you an option to copy the image URL, but when you paste the url in your post you'll have to remove the http:// part of the url
Given I have only used 2% of my allotted storage space on Photobucket and given the large number of items I have residing there, for free I might add, I doubt I will ever use all of it.

It's not how many photos or even the size of them where Photobucket gets you. I removed somewhere around a thousand attachments and put them on photobucket then embedded them. Still didn't get anywhere near the storage allowed... but...
it was the bandwidth for viewing them. With all the page views we have, it's astronomical. Have you seen how many page views we get? Take a look at the bottom of the main forum. Under the "stats"... click on the "view more". You'll be astounded, and it's getting more every year.
Someone take a look and post how many page views we had last year.
the site had a total of 4885656 page views during all of 2013
That's right, Fredric! Almost 4 MILLION, NINE-HUNDRED THOUSAND views. Each year, more and more. Now, I think I account for maybe 150k of those myself, but... the proof is in the pudding. It's not about total number of members, it's not about total number of topics and posts... it's about how many people are actually posting, answering, and reading them as well!
CWVRV... it's the place to be! :) :)ThmbUp
