Why the lack of Virtual System postings?

If you've noticed the severe decrease in Virtual System activity since the new format was introduced, it is probably due to the restriction on included images, to no more than 50.
As I, and many others already have more than 50 included on our Virtual System page......we are unable to add any new ones.
This means that all the most active Members' Systems are stuck in a virtual 'Time Warp' circa 2015 👀💤
I have many new cartridges, power conditioners and cables as well as tweeks which I simply can't add.
I've written to the moderators and they say that their Tech Dept will modify this if enough members write in...💻
I have always thought the Virtual Systems section set A'Gon apart from all the other Audio Forum Sites and it is disheartening to see this feature wither and die...
What are your thoughts....❓

The issue isn't the pictures! It's that the old discussion format had a link to "System" next to every posters name on every post. When you read a post often the perspective of the poster is best learned by reading about his system. It used to be a click away, and now it's not, so people don't get there nearly as often. That's why comments on systems are fewer by many magnitudes. I raised this months ago, and @audiogon had no reply and didn't take the hint at what should be an easy fix to keep their activity up. Cheers,

@halcro Yes, I understood that but the "3 clicks away" is all it took to reduce Systems activity. Funny, that. 
Also, I agree with your comments about posting images. Direct 1-step insertion of images (uploaded or online) into posts would be a huge improvement. Cheers,
