Just wondering why guests have to sign up to access the posts w/images. I like to share my adventures with friends, but they can't see the pictures. I can see why they shouldn't be able to post--spam and all. But why would it hurt to allow them to see the pictures embedded in the posts?
Because the forum hosts the photos and random passers by eat the bandwidth. I recommend you post offsite, e.g. picasaweb from google, and link to the photos there with [img].
