Yes
I know I'm new here, but has the staff issued a guideline on the use of the Insert Image icon? If people want others to comment on their shots then having to follow a URL is unnnecessary and where there are multiple images, the reviewer loses sense of the impact of the set.

This may be the views of a grumpy old man having a rant - but I believe that if you want something then make it easy for the others to give it.
 
The only limitation I am aware of is the size limit (800px on the longest side) - other than that it's people not knowing how to post pictures in threads and not being bothered to look it up....
 
:thinking:

OK, the rules are that you can use the
tags and the image must be a maximum of 800 wide on its longest side [1000 for pano's]

Like all forums there are a limit on the number of imgaes in a single post [this includes any smilies you post] which IIRC is 10, but there is nothing to stop you replying to your own thread with further posts containing the rest of the images if its a larger set. However you should also bear in mind that posing loads of pics all at once can have the same effect as posting links - they can lose their impact because there are so many of them!

HTH!!

People can go to the effort of:
1) resizing a picture to the right size;
2) opening flickr (or its equivalents);
3) choosing the upload feature;
4) selecting the shot;
5) doing the opload;
6) going to their photostream;
7) selecting the picture;
8) opening the picture in all sizes;
9) copying the URL;
10) opening TP;
11) creating a new thread; and
12) typing some text.

Why can't they click on the Insert Image icon and paste the URL from flickr over the "http://" that appears in the box?

They can ;)

All we ask is that the image is maximum 800px by 800px
