Posting of pictures in the message is allowed, however, you do need to link to the picture that is hosted on another site, we don't have a picture album feature on the website.
Linking as you've done to another server is perfectly acceptable.
To those wondering how to do it:
1) upload your picture to your favorite photo album link. Once it is up, open the picture and copy the the URL to the picture.
2) Write or edit your message here on the EC12 forum. Place the cursor at the point in the message that you want the photo to appear. Click on the Picture button on the toolbar of the message (it is the button just above the font color button)
3) that will insert the html tags for placing an image. "img and /img" surrounded by square brackets,then copy your URL to the picture between these two tags.
4) Post the message.
