and my welcome to you as well. Because of the overall traffic on FT, we have long tried to focus simply on speed and have felt that images would probably slow things down. Having said that, i can tell you that in yesterdays tech meeting, we again talked about opening up image posting in the Trip Reports forum. We are not sure of the ramifications, but look for a test of that shortly.
Again thanks for the question and welcome to FlyerTalk
