A picture can't be embedded here, or any forum, from your personal machine, the pictures need to be stored on a web based photo site so the forum can link to it.

I don't know what you mean by "any forum". It is correct that one can't upload pictures to the Building,Technique, Design forums here, AFAIK.
However, many forums (paddling and 'other') on the web do provide for pictures to be uploaded to the forum server.
Con: It's more expensive for the forum provider (bandwidth, hard drive space). This forum is provided free to us, so it makes sense that pictures aren't archived on the forum server, I guess.

Pro: When pictures are stored on the forum server, there are far fewer (no) 'dead links' to photos when looking at older posts. No matter where you store your photos 'in the cloud', once your account becomes 'inactive', the pictures are unavailable.
