Hosting photos is best to not stress out the servers I think, not sure if this site has attachment options though................

Try Flickr for uploading your photos. They allow you to upload a fair amount of photos for free.

I disagree with anybody who says hosting is better. Forums everywhere that have hosted photos that for whatever reason have broken image links are full of useless topics. If you upload a pic to a host site and move it, change your album name, change your host username, or even rename an image, or the host site craps out for whatever reason, or decides to hold its users ransom by forcing them to pay for all the images they uploaded initially for free (*cough* Photof*cket), guess what--that pic no longer displays. If you've been on a site looking to rebuild a vintage carb and all you see is "Missing image" placeholders, that's what happened. It's infuriating.

Uploading pics directly to a forum is by far the better option, but does certainly increase the need for donations and disk space on that forum, but--here's the important thing--as long as the forum is alive, those pics will still be there.

I've been a member here for over 10 years, and every topic I ever created is still there, with every pic I ever uploaded, still viewable. Example, when I dug my original Optima out of a Kyosho RC car bag many years ago and decided to restore it:
