I'm having major problems with not being able to insert images into posts.  I try flickr and it says I can't use links to that site, I try TinyPic (in order to also shrink file size) and it says I can't use that site.  What site can I use? Ive tried the CPUK free image hosting and can never log in because the captcha is always coming up as incorrect.

I also am not able to log onto the CP Photo Hosting site for what I assume is the same reason ... the captcha entry is always incorrect. Once or twice I could understand, but I seem unable to get it right even after a few dozen attempts. Has anybody been able to enter the photo hosting site recently?

The captcha works OK for me. Can't turn it off so don't know what to say?

I have always had serious issues uploading images via the cpuk gallery - I click on the browse buton,nothing happens - I click on the simple uploader link, nothing happens. I gave up on that now and use flickr.

Luckily I have discovered how to use the code from my images on Flickr to display images on the forums correctly now.
