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

To ascertain if your photo is hosted online, right click on it and "copy image address" has to be one of the options. It's the only option to choose so don't copy and paste as A'gon is not set up for that. It's not like clicking and dragging some image to an email either.

You shouldn’t have to host your photos online to post them. Welcome to 2000.

Oh brother.

If you photo is distorted, before posting it, click on the width box and bring the horizontal value down to around 500 or so and the rest of the image will properly resize without fiddling with the rest of the values. 

A good photo sharing place for posting your shots here is imgur.com. It's free and easy to do.

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.
