If you would like your pictures to remain as permanent to your threads - please use a hosting service such as Photobucket, or Picasa, etc. They are free - provide storage, and will not cost us bandwidth.
Every 90 days or so we have to perform a "sweep" to remove pictures that are uploaded to LTBBQ - in order to keep our bandwidth from becoming a problem.
And you may find it easier to load pictures via the Photobucket app......
HTH!
