The alternative to not being a VIP member is to upload your pics to another image hosting site many are free to join, but show ADs, some are paid and add free. Once uploaded, you copy the image address at that site and then paste it into the text entry box on this site. Image will display but actually lives on the external site. One issue here is if the external site shuts down or otherwise changes the image address used here, the pic will no longer show here. A real pain for the usefulness of the discussion threads on this site at times.
I have a paid image hosting site, PBase.com which has served me very well for a decade. Im also a VIP here to help keep this place running.
