The other problem you'll have with posting images instead of links to images:
There is a limit to how much storage your files can use.
Eventually, you'll reach that limit and cannot post another image without deleting older files.
That's not a good thing for others searching through older threads for information.
In my post above, the thumbnail is a link and doesn't reduce the amount of storage available for more images.
The bigger image does, and some day I may have to delete it to free up space so I can add another image in a new thread.
