Initially when I joined the site we could upload our personal pictures on to our profile page and I had uploaded several pictures some of which I don't even have now...When the site went for a renovation a couple of years ago this feature was never reinstalled ..

My response was only the reflection of admin's thoughts. I had once suggested it but he thought that feature will be abused and penalized by Google. Let's hope for the best in near future.

Administrator has done all the good features about which we are discussing. Let this trend be continued. Let's leave all the issues related to looks and utilitarian aspects of the site.

 

There are no question of copy right issues when you are uploading personal pictures like it was before...

Even now if one posts photos or paintings with a declaration by the author are well in practice.

Everyone does not post everything their own likewise not everyone posts their own images on each site. I know that as an editor on different sites. Not all members are as honest as you are, we have to delete lots of posts everywhere. So there... But I am hopeful this feature will appear soon.

If some are dishonest Moderators are rejecting such photos. But you are allowing photos from sites which offer photos free from copyright issues. Of course citing the source

Here the matter is not related to out side source but own camera images. An independent paid section of images taken by members. 

 While appreciating the idea of having an independent paid section for the photos ( Paintings)  contributed by the members,  I was talking about our existing practices related to copyright problems .

Sorry but if it is allowed it will be limited to unpublished camera images only.
