Are there any other members like me who would like to see this provision implemented for general interest and expression to accompany topics on this excellent site? Brian

You can already link images into your post, but they need to be hosted elsewhere, on one of the online image hosting sites such as Photobucket or on your own website. You then put the full url of the uploaded in your post using the [img] button.

This was discussed a while ago:

We don't want these pages filled with cards offfered for sale so please think carefully about the purpose of posting images. ie. this should be to seek or provide information or stimulate discussion.

Thank you Michael for outlining the site policy. i wonder whether more interesting topic activity would be stimulated and enjoyed with the inclusion of direct illustration material under control Brian

I'm sure it would... but for various reasons we can't allow direct upload of pictures (as attachments) to the board. You're welcome to link your post to externally hosted images, these can be uploaded onto one of countless free image hosting sites and added to your post using the BBcode options.
