Any reason ? I found photobucket much more reliable.

 

[Sushubh]

as long as the image appears in its full size without any signature links, i am fine with it.

 

[ChairmanSaab]

By "Any reason?" i mean why we can't upload images to forum itself ? Any restrictions ?

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

To prevent load on the server I guess.

Forum backup size is less than 1GB because of this policy.

 

[ChairmanSaab]

Exactly what i thought, So it includes forum software itself too or other stuff like plugins, posts ?
Oh, It seems like you have more posts than all other's members combine ? Haha

 

[Sushubh]

Forum software etc takes negligible space 🙂

Every year such threads (asking image upload to forum directly) comes up 🙂

Yes, you can link in images from any site.
For example:
