Posting pictures ?

[tonyb61]

I have another thread in progress, and someone has asked for a picture. I tried posting a reply including a picture, but the post was forbidden, something to do no of urls or forbidden words ? What is the method for posting a picture ?
Thanks

It's a restriction placed on all new members for security reasons.

Given that the posts I make are moderated as well it seems an unnecessary restriction, and as the guy who replied to one thread, a picture is worth a thousand words !

It is what it is.

Considering the down time this forum has had due to spam, trolls and sql attacks it's a necessary inconvenience.

How long/many posts is this restriction in place for?
