You can upload pics straight to the site - many do.

However I'd prefer they were hosted elsewhere as it costs more and slows the site down

Don't think Google allows third party linking as you need to be logged in to access the photos

Ah ok, old school 😃. I was wondering why the forum had a circuitous route to posting a photo, but I understand now and appreciate the overhead issue. I’ll have a rummage around and try and get a pic of my car hosted somewhere that gives me the required URL

Just go here https://postimages.org/

Drag and drop the image to upload and hey presto, you'll be presented with a URL to the direct link. Copy and paste code onto your DDK post and add 'image' tags either side...
