The continuing photobucket saga...

I guess I don't understand why one needs to go to a 2nd (or 3rd) party server to post (at least on this site) photos at all. Every one I've ever posted I've transferred from my digital camera or cell phone to my computer, resized them as needed, then posted. I'm probably not nerdy enough!

I, too; always post on this site directly from my computer. But, say for instance you're posting a FOR SALE ad on several sites including those that require a hosting site (i.e. doublegunshop.com, etc.) it's easier to just write the ad once and then copy and paste the ad on various sites.

Many sites do not have that capability.
