For the forum to provide photo hosting adds to the monthly cost of bandwidth useage & storage on the host server, there's only so much bandwidth/storage allowable at a certain $rate... the forums are free to use... If you click pic twice, then the original size can be seen.
Set up a free photobucket account, it's better for everyone involved.
Did you ever see "dozernerd" on youtube? He had like a gas engine D11 in about 1/6th scale... I tried to get him to join the forums a few yrs ago, but he wasn't interested. I see he has since deleted his YT account. He was from the Pacific northwest USA.
