Unable to host pictures here since 2011. We can fix it if we all work together. Imagine the traffic if everyone that posts here had the opportunity to host his pictures here and not being sent flickr...

The downside of posting pictures on this site is that they disappear after some time. I have spent some time in the archives and only thumbnails survive for many of the pictures. Presumably the pictures get pruned to save disk space. Although I don't much like having to keep pictures on another site like Flicker, it does remain a reliable option. As long as Google doesn't get as greedy as Photobucket anyway.

I don't understand the question above. I think I know what you wanted to ask but it's not clear which option I click!

In my case, I have a vast quantity of my pictures on my Flickr page and only use a small proportion of them on this site. We may have to start paying a subscription so that the site can fund more storage space.

Sorry G man... auto-correct... supposed to be On Site. My bad, didn't catch it on time. Tried to correct it, but for some reason, it doesn't give me the option to fix it. I can edit the post itself, but not the question...

This site hosting pictures would increase bandwidth hugely and bandwidth costs money, so I would have to say I'm in favour of us all hosting our own images via the likes of Flikr.

I never liked having to downsize my photos to fit on this forum using the photo function. Flickr works better for me. YMMV.
