Tell me about it but unless ive missed something fundamental, I've no real choice. Using an android phone or tablet means the only way to post images here is via url from a third party image host.
I've opened an imgur account now so future pic uploads shouldn't be a problem.
They won't allow access to any of my pics, even for my own personal viewing, unless I pay £200 or so. Guess they've got their reasons but to me it's a lot like being held to ransom.
