I’m getting this message since yesterday, while trying to attach photos…

I guess we're down to posting links to externally hosted images. I was wondering when this would happen...

I assume everyone has their files on an external host anyway, as it’s more convenient than keeping them locally.
The disadvantage of uploading to this site is the small previews too, externally hosted pics display much larger.

Well I used to have all my photos at Photobucket and then Flickr…but, I refuse to upload all to a new host, other than the few newer ones I’ve started to upload to imgur…

I've just made a second imgur account for my older pics. I keep that open in an incognito tab in my browser so that I can easily switch between the two accounts. If your pictures are well-organised, you can upload them by marque using a tag, which makes it easier to search.

My imgur account is very well organized, I’m an order freak, but image uploading 2000+ models all over again! No thank you!

Julio maybe your files are too big? I would recommend downsizing the images (especially if you are uploading data onto the forum server - this takes up space and eventually costs more money). Since forever I use a free and user friendly program IrfanView and resizing your pics to 1024x768 would reduce drastically the file size and will be still displayed perfectly in the forum. You pics now are (I guess) of original size of 2596x1560 pixels, way too big for Internet .
