People were often asking on the old forum about how to go about posting an image without having to "attach" it.
The answer was usually to use something like photobucket, but some people didn't want to go to the hassle if it was just for the odd pic.
I've noticed something useful on this site - when posting you have the option to insert an image in the old manner, but also there is a button to host an image...
When you click on this you get the option to upload a photo directly from your computer to an external site (called ServImg).
At the same time an account is automatically created for you at ServImg, so you should be able to use it for other sites (including our new permanent home)
Although it's not without faults - when you choose the option to host it! and the links are displayed, when you click copy it doesn't seem to work so you have to highlight the link, and then the pop up window doesn't disappear, so you have to click "preview" to refresh your post and get rid of it.
(Although that might be a firefox problem)
