Would it be possible for the site to allow members to post a few thumbnails in some of the discussions? Maybe iCloud links if the site can't handle photos in the comments area. Maybe actual pics. Some of the responses really beg for illustration, imo.

Such as: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0-ojJs9Vz93d30YiUBFs1lYlA

Use the 'show tags' link below the edit box for examples of how to link URL links or Image (IMG) links. The requirement for this general internet tagging technology is the URL reference has to point to an image file.

Your iCloud reference does not meet this minimum standard to use the tagging references. If Apple was a image sharing site like Flickr, they would provide full HTML addresses that point to the image file(s) on their services, not this masked reference.

If you wanted to pay for an upgrade to UHH, contact ADMIN and ask for the necessary donation or the status of your outstanding dues payment.

To address your first sentence and your statement "maybe actual pics": photos for illustrative purposes to support discussion topics are allowed. You can upload directly to UHH. See examples throughout this recent thread:
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-712471-1.html

Here is how to add a photo:

Use "reply" or "quote reply" in an existing thread. You will find the upload area below the text box.

People do post photos in the discussion section all the time. The 'standard' for lack of a better word, is that it should enhance the discussion rather than be used to show off ones work.

Threads in the discussion section should not start with a photo. There are numerous sections for that.

Well, I guess the 'reply' answers that question since the link came back and works.

I suppose I've lost copyright protection since I've now published this 'masterpiece.'

Comments?

I should read more. Heck, it uploads easily without iCloud.

Now I'm really puzzled, ie, why haven't you guys been uploading your photos?

While you were typing, two more of us answered. See the link in my earlier reply for one example of a thread with photos used to illustrate respondents' comments in main discussion forum.

To expand on Bill_de's comment about the specialty forums of UHH: scroll to the bottom of this page and click on "all sections."

How to add images within text in a UHH post

This addresses the fact that the usual method of adding images to a post places all the added images at the end of all the text. Adding images within the text allows for better flow of the content. The images have to be available as a URL, but Rongnogno has shown that adding images to a useless post places an image in UHH and the URL can be copied and used for that purpose.

The images you can add are not limited to thumbnails, but some care should be exercised to keep the size of the posted images reasonable.

I have such a useless post where I add images just to create a URL based on UHH so I don't have to depend on my own website. If I am no longer able to maintain my website it will disappear (for lack of payment of the annual fee), wheras the UHH website (with the images I posted) will continue (hopefully).

People upload pictures all day long. But, there are rules that explain what sections should be used.

The Photo Gallery is for photos. The discussion section is primarily for discussions. There are a couple dozen more sections available for specific purposes. Check them out and use the ones that fit your needs.

People upload pictures all the time...but to the appropriate forums. The Discussion forum is not one of the appropriate forums for images.

The Photo Gallery or one of the other image type specific forums are appropriate.

If the Administrator sees images in the discussion forum he will move them.

Photos in the discussion forums are OK if they illustrate a point of discussion. But if you just want to show a photo you like, it should go in the photo gallery.

Just in case nobody's mentioned this possibility, if you're using "Quick Reply:" at the bottom of the page you don't have the option to add photos, but if you click on "Reply" (under any post), or "Quote Reply" (under a specific post that you want to respond to), you can add images. To select an image for uploading, click on "Choose file", which will open your file browser, then (for Windows) double click on the file that you want, or make multiple selections and then click on "Open".

If you leave the (Store Original) box unchecked the site will automatically add a thumbnail (900 pixels along the bottom edge) of each image* (*if the format is JPEG, TIFF, DNG or PNG. Other formats may be stored but not displayed). If you do check the (Store Original) box the site will upload and store a copy of the original file up to a maximum of 20MB and it will be available for download (by clicking on (Download)).

NB !!! The file will not be uploaded until you click on "Add Attachment" !!!
