You can upload photos directly to the forum - that way they will be displayed forever. Nothing more frustrating than finding an older thread with the info you need... and seeing broken photo links.
Just upload directly to the forum - using the GO ADVANCED mode/button. Make sure your photos are smaller than
400mb. Usually
100mb work well. I use a free programed called:
FastStone Photo Resizer. I convert my photos and then upload them to the BP server.
