Hanno,

Thanks for adding my pics as attachments. The reason I used external photo hosting is that sometimes a forum software changes and (at least some of) the photos get lost along the way. This happened to me on Missing Lynx looong ago and on ww2talk recently .
Another is that (I think?) one has to be a member to see the attchments, and I felt that this condition might reduce the visibility of the photos and therefore the probability of someone with some relevant info to see them and join in.

But as you rightly pointed out, the Photobucket Massacre shows that this is not a perfect solution either (I did leave them long ago, so fortunately was not affected apart maybe from some very old posts which I may have forgotten about), so I would think that with both options we run less risks of losing the photos altogether.

Michel
