The only way I know of uploading the file to the forum's server is to first download it from the external site to your computer and then make it an attachment to your particular post. I know this is tedious--and it does not allow for images to be inserted where they should be in the text (this bugs me too because all attachments are appended at the end of the message)--but that is the Forum policy.
Please make these changes or the links to external files will be deleted per Forum policy.
Thanks,

Some confusion indeed Ian!
Just to clarify are you aware a copy of every picture in the thread I posted. is actually already hosted on your forum in this thread in posts 1 & 7?
The ones within the thread that I linked to are just so the thread retains a little bit of relevant context!
Are you actually saying this doesn't match the forum rules?
That "archival durability lasts as long the text of the post"
Which I have already done. I agree it is a tedious process I know because I have already done it in this thread!
To reiterate..
There is already a copy of every picture in the thread I posted. that is actually already hosted on this forum in this thread in posts 1 & 7?
all the best,
