Its nonsense for the website not to allow direct pictures. Many auto forums do just that. It just gets old seeing tons of missing pictures on any website that forces the picture hosting deal.
Maybe its time for better website software for this site?
All it takes is money. I am sure if you contacted Scot he could tell you where to send the check to cover it. Sarcasm aside, it takes a lot of effort, and money, to run a site like this one. I am very grateful for what we have on this site as it is, but that is how I was raised. Do I agree that direct posting of pics would be great? Of course, but unless I am willing to solve the problem, then will just continue to enjoy it as is.
The big problem is the software can't be updated due to restrictions from the hosting service. I can create a new forum with more updated software but it will be starting over from scratch, which is something we have done before. Unfortunately we have been experiencing some stability issues is forcing the matter. Once the holidays are over I will see about creating a new forum. I will archive the current one and will lock down new posts once the new forum is up. I will see about finding a way to support easier picture hosting.
And it does take money, what little revenue there is barely covers hosting cost. Currently I work three jobs and do not have room for higher expenses so I will have to take things slowly. I appreciate your patience and to those who still support the site, I am eternally grateful.
