why is it such a PIA to post a bloody photo here ? this platform is cranky as hell !

I tried copy & paste and it works fine up to 'preview' but doesn't work when posting. You still need a URL address from some place that can store your photos so you can copy the image address. 

All the best,

this is my new to me 2015 bmw 650i convertible on it’s way north from Tampa, FL where I found it with only 33k miles

OH NO, we got caught, it stopped working, I'm gonna upload to this site, then try the copy image address method

Does the forum actually support photos on the site? I am used to SH Forums which requires you to put an image on a third party site and embed or link to it. I get why they do that--it takes up a lot of bandwidth. 

I wrote some text, it disappeared, the image came in distorted,
