Most sites use the 3'rd party hosting. This is standard ubb software set-up. It would be hard to change it. Problem with direct posted pix. is that guys WON'T re-size them before posting. Trust me when I say this, because I have seen it on the few other forums that allow direct post, and it is very annoying to look at a pic. and only see one little corner of it. Also it eats up space and things get messed up because of it. I use 2 hosting sites, Flickr, is the best because they have a size selector that is nice. I just started over there and it's not hard to learn.
I also have a Photobucket account that I have ALWAYS used for last 15 years.
This is not a requirement that is un-reasonable. other forums have it as standard and we need to follow the norm.

Please do not be offended by this requirement. Thank You!
