    Too right it can - we've all seen some of the Friday/Saturday night ding dongs that have got out of order.

    I do think that being able to add pictures is an excellent idea and, could help enrich An already very good forum but, they would certainly need moderating/approving.

    Maybe it could work a bit like a new members posts where the first few need approval before we're let lose?

    Either way, good luck.

    All of the above.

    Thanks for considering.

    I'd recommend turning embedded images on too, so that images can be shown in-line with text. It wont cost anything either - just means that you don't have to click the images to see them. Shooting The Breeze and other mainstream forums allow this.

    Much more fun with pictures.
    Sure that there is the odd idiot but I'm sure we would all chip in to rid ourselves of them.

    Anyhow, get my vote.

    It would be great to read your opinions and especially to hear from the Moderators as to what the rationale is being this not being able to be done at the moment.

    Personally I think if you could more easily post pictures without going through a third party hosting site such a Photobucket it would make a great forum even better adding both more colour and variety of information.

    Find the sticky that says how, try it, then write it out on a sheet of paper in a way that you can understand & remember & stick it up next to the PC
