Hi Go Navy, I actually took it down...to limit the amount of "sticky" threads on top.

www.imgur.com is the best photo hosting site I've found.  You'll upload your picture after you create a free account.  You'll then click on your picture in your gallery...and a window will pop up with your picture.

You'll literally copy and paste the link right below the title "BBCode (message boards & forums)" and paste it here in any post.   ;D

Pilot:  On top of what?  My suggestion is that you NEVER take down the instructions for posting a picture.  Someone is always going to need them, and we all love pictures! So, I recommend you put the instructions back up, in a prominent place, but none of the UTGF major headings would be intuitively obvious for such instructions. This "Simple Machines" forum application is awful when it comes to sharing pictures;  lots of Forums use it so I encounter it elsewhere, but I really don't like it.

I've registered myself with imagur, and hope they don't compromise my contact info.  (I read their fine print which is not clearly labeled as a Privacy Policy.)  The second set of pictures I posted, this morning, of my new 812ce, were done with imagur.  It was much faster and easier than TinyPic which I had been using.

Thanks for the response.......

How about adding the pic post instructions to the Forum Rules page and change the heading to Forum Rules and Picture Posting Guidelines, or something similar. Solves both issues.
