There is a thread at the top of the Perthshire list called 'Perth Cemeteries'.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=732409.0

I wrote it using photobucket for holding the images (12 of them).
If (and when) photobucket limits my use then I want to replace the thread with the same but using another site for holding the images.
 :D
I rewrote the 'Perth Cemeteries' thread.
This is the new link as the one above no longer works.

I think that you can only post 3 pictures at a time (in one post) on RootsChat BUT you should never hit preview as this confuses the software into thinking you have two images with the same filename. Much better just to post and if you need to edit just click on the modify button ;)

Then I reckon my way is the best.
Using a hosting site I placed 5 links to images in each of the three parts of the Perth Cemeteries thread.
I suppose I could have as many images as I want provided they are on another website and only linking to them.
Easy peasy  :D
