No... Pics are allowed---- it might be how you posted them. Do you have a photobucket account? Here is how I do it-- from a posting by someone, I can't remember who---

Get a photobucket account(free). Upload the picture. Under the picture in photobucket you'll see a bunch of URL formats for the picture. Click on the one that says HTML. It should automatically copy. go to your thread and paste. It will come up as a bunch of writing but when you submit it will be a picture

I tried to post some pictures using Photobucket yesterday. I did the copy and paste that I usually use but once I clicked on 'submit' they vanished. I've emailed GW and they responded very quickly. Hopefully they can help figure out what went wrong. Marg

There have been a few glitches in GW lately maybe this was just one of them. I'll bet if you try again they will go through. I hope so Good luck!!

Well, let's test it... here's some ladyslippers (not in my garden).
