Good job in attaching the pics directly!

It's not an 'aversion', it's an impossibility. The various governments [fed, state, local] and corporations that provide the PCs and Internet access block 'social' sites like PhotoBucket, Imgur, SmugMug, etc to keep workers on the job and not 'socializing'. Further, those sites disappear and/or re-organize and the URLs for those offsite pictures change and the pics are lost to us forever.

Here's my weekly post regarding offsite picture linking...and an example of a lost pic...

Attach your photos directly to your post by using the "Go Advance" button to make your post entry. Then there is a "manage attachments" button to allow you to post your photos.

Photos that are hosted elsewhere, often disappear when the hosting website reorganizes its holdings, or goes out of business.

In addition, many of the more knowledgeable people on this forum are unable to see your photos posted elsewhere because they access the forum from their place of employment where internet web storage sites are filtered or prohibited. If they can't see your photos, they can't offer comments or advice.

Thanks, and welcome to the Lugerforum.
