Image Gallery

[rdprdp01]

Thanks for that detailed response, rdprdp01. I can't see what's wrong with doing what you've already done: using a MyCode link to open a Imgur gallery in a new tab. Costs nothing; works fine. No fiddling or maintenance necessary.

I, for one, would not be happy if Imgur were the only hosting site that could be accessed by the forum, if only because (if I've understood this right) we'd lose access to a great many photos already displayed on the forum from other sites. There's some self-interest in this. I've always found Imgur clunky to navigate and have used the Postimages site as an alternative. If Postimages were blacklisted, I assume all the photos I, and others, have linked to, would no longer display. So, too, the myriad of ancient images from Photobucket. It would be a shame to lose that history.

Nothing would be lost that has been posted or will be posted. And if someone used an alternative hosting site, they could use the same technique to view the Video Gallery I used for the Imgur Gallery.

PostImages will work perfectly. All we need is a URL and a name to embed the link into a Post.

But I am still bothered by the going back and forth between Internet sites, which may be an opportunity for personal growth for me. 

Let's think about it, get some more feedback, and then decide. And if I am the only person who thinks Video Galleries are a good thing, I may need to humble myself and let things stay just as they are!
