You can only post a link to a photo, so you have to first upload it to some sort of (public) storage area that you can get a link for.

I'm sure it is a security precaution. It is a pita, but I understand the need for it. I've been on boards that had hoards of people posting the most disgusting vile porn images. Human beings can be such assholes.

I use SmugMug, and there are others. Photobucket used to be good until they jacked their prices waaaaaaay up, and I hear good things about Imgur. Not sure of the spelling.

Here's a link from our Photo Group on how to do it: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103659987

It's not as bad as it sounds!
