Although I cannot figure out how to get a pic posted, I do enjoy the photo group. The other parts of this board do lead to a great deal of disharmony on too many occasions.

and then just type the image's address, including the http:// and it will post.

You don't need an account to use Imgur (but you can get a free one); the others may require an account.

If you have a website, you can also hotlink from there (that's what I do).

If you upload your images to such a site you can right click on them to "save the url" or "copy image location" and just paste that into your post.

Hope to see your photos soon!

I think the poll function would help the board in many ways.

Not in a huge way, but I appreciate the diversion of looking at nice photos and picking one I like best.
