Why is a photo host even required? Why not just upload a pic? It appears that other posters have pics loaded here, without the need for for the viewer to click on a link. Or maybe they have some kind of premium photo host?
1. From the
How To Post Pictures thread in the New Members forum (required reading for all members)...
How to host Photos and Images on the CZ Forum (Revised Oct 2022)
• We apologize, but this independent website is run on a shoestring budget. Directly hosting photos, as done on other sites, is not within our means. Other sites can do this because they are selling ad space and/or selling your private information. We do not do that. We sincerely hope you appreciate that fact enough to overlook this small inconvenience.
In other words, all it takes is MONEY, and if this a serious concern of yours, then feel free to make a monetary donation to CZF... Or, stop complaining.
2. From the
Image Posting Guide, which is the Go-To document for such questions....
Image Posting Instructions
• The best image manipulation and posting results are always obtained by using a home computer. Do not expect good results doing this job on a tablet or phone.
As a new Admin, I am continually struck by how many posts we have to remove and correct
on a daily basis because members refuse to read the instructions. Then it's up to me to write an email and explain why their post is missing or why their language has landed them in the "time out chair".
And then 9 out of 10 times, members blame me for being on a "power trip" because they failed to read and follow the rules !!
I guess the next logical step is a
Defund the Admins movement.
