The forum leadership urges members NOT to post photos to offsite locations and then post a link on the forum. That will "work in the short term" but with so many websites changing their URL, closing, eliminating support for some functions and even going from a "free site" to a "pay dearly site" we've found that in 3 or 4 months, the link to the offsite photo no longer provides access and we're right back were we started with no photo available..... Google Photos, Yahoo Photos, AOL photos and Photobin are just a few of the "used to work but not any more" sites that have eliminated links to posts on this forum. Also remember that links to "commercial or membership sites" like FaceBook, You Tube, etc are not permitted if the person using your link is required to join a site to view your data.
It's much easier and significantly more "permanent" to learn the correct way to post a photo ON THIS WEBSITE and know that any future searches for the post will include the information deemed "required to understand" what the poster is trying to convey.
