    One forum I frequent (Yachtforums.com) doesn't like linked photos because the sites where hosted can change address structure at a later date, and then the content that someone may be looking for in the future may be unavailable. By having images on their own servers, they'll remain available. The whole cloud storage thing is in a state of flux, it seems to me.. "Copy" closed up shop, and Microsoft just reduced the allowance for One Drive. As the competition shrinks, it will be likelier that even Google will follow Microsoft's lead and reduce the amount of free file and photo storage. I like free cloud storage, but won't pay for it. The monthly charges for cloud services will buy a lot of hard drives for back-up!

      I agree. I had stopped linking images from my Google account with the last version of forum software. However, I'm not quite grasping how to post pictures with this version of forum software without having all my pictures show up at the bottom of my post. Kind of hard to show the progression of a project if you can't show some pics along the way. At least for the time being, the image linking is still working for me.

        To upload images inline, you can use the following procedure. After clicking on the A to enable the advanced editor,

        Click on the image icon on the toolbar as shown below

        Click image for larger version

        When the window opens, clock on the upload tab
        Click image for larger version

        Finally, select the file you want to upload with the "Choose File" button, and then click on the "Send to Server" button. The image should be inserted where your cursor was in the message you were entering.
