2. You need a photo hosting service, my dear AllaN01Bear!

I use SmugMug and I like it a lot.

3. Try either "Community Help" or "Ask The Administrators" forums.

4. The latter

Need to host it online. Heres an easy free place:

5. I use imgur.

You can upload a file for an avatar I think but I have always used a hosting service for everything else.

6. Look in ohotography forum

Near top is thread about this.

7. As others have said, you need a hosting service.

I use Postimage.com

Do NOT use Photobucket. They used to be the go-to service, but they absolutely suck these days.

And FWIW, if Skinner, Elad and EarlG Had found a way to self host images like Facebook does, they would have beaten Facebook to the punch by ten years.

DU could have been the Facebook for progressives!

Ah well.
