It's okay, I often misunderstand things. Like I'm confused what a rats behind has to do with anything. I guess I'll just have to try and live with one less audience member for my pictures
PS - I had a free image host years ago until Photobucket took and held all my pics for ransom. I'm done with those.

Bit maybe I missed something?
Maybe you should read what I said in post #16.
"Forums these days accept larger pix when you attach them, but they display them all at a standard size chosen by the administrator. The forum doesn't display a huge pic no matter how large a pic you attach."

Well when I post on other forums my sotd and have no problem and then post the same here and it says file size too big and you have to go back and redo it always just for here it gets old. My pix don't more than fill my screen. Maybe it's your settings. Apparently it's not an issue on all other forums.........but maybe I'm missing something......
Modern forums do two things; They accept images regardless of size, and they display them in a forum friendly size. Forums don't have huge pictures anymore, where you have to move them back and forth to see them, the admin. chooses the display size that best suits the forum. No one wants huge pix on the forum, but no one wants to have to reduce the size of all of their pix to post them either.

I keep my own images, I don't want them stored somewhere on a hosting service.

Just lock the thread and move on, this isn't worth the effort.
