Making a post with pics
How come pictures are a requirement for making a post? A lot of common items shouldn't require them and if a person needs a pic then they should just be able to contact the seller and request one. Seems kind of silly to have to use a third party site to host pics just to make a post. Some folks such as myself like to give a more personalized response to a prospective customer.

As to the reason for the rule, I'm not going to justify it beyond saying that is how it works here. The rules are clearly explained. You don't have to agree with the rules, but don't complain when your posts get deleted because you are not following them. There are many other places that have similar requirements and I'm sure more than a few that have more lax requirements. Regardless, if you want to use this forum, you have to abide by the rules.

Personally, as a buyer of ANYTHING online, especially used items, I simply WON'T buy it unless the seller posts photos. GOOD CLEAR photos of the item, not pictures that look like they were taken 20 feet away with a flip phone camera from 2001...

As far back as I remember you have been able to upload a photo directly from your computer.

You have always been able to upload to the forum. Way back, there were pretty severe restrictions on photo size for upload that needed to be met. The external host recommendations came about after several issues of losing the photo database screwing up every post with uploaded photos. That really isn't much of a concern anymore, but none of us have had the time to rewrite all of the posts that mention using photobucket or similar sites.
