Hey Everyone,

Most bulletin board type systems are designed for folks to use their own server for images. With the exception of Fred Miranda (which you have to pay for the service), I don't know of many sites that do the hosting for you. This is for a bunch of reasons - the primary being the amount of space the server has for these things. Photography sites are hogs for bandwidth and space - part of the nature of the beast.

I do agree that the way that UBB makes you post images is harder than other bulletin systems. I went with UBB initially at the reccomendation of my friend, Jeff, who runs the Digital Wedding Forum. Since then, I have seriously considered moving to a competitor (like Nikon Cafe's vbulletin) - but the product has been around a while and is generally reliable. There are pros and cons on both sides.
