Probably if we can give a caution when uploading a file that use of photobucket or picasa etc is recommended that is the least we can do.

Update for autolink mod.
I have started autolinking database entries with keywords. So to say in simple words when a member writes let say Hollyhock in his post/reply, after submitting the word hollyhock will become a hyperlink (shown in blue color), this when clicked will take you to the entry in database for this plant.

A entries added. Keywords are common names mostly used by members and not the botanical names.

After it is completed you can send mass email to all the users informing this new feature added. Or maybe a sticky post. Because not all members are following this topic.
