Was it easier to put up photos on the "world's shortest" temporary version? If so, I would encourage its use because the current format's biggest deficiency, the non-intuitive and cumbersome image insert function, limits the site, IMHO. Where else does one have to jump through so many elevated hoops to paste a pic?
It really should strive to be "copy - paste" or have an "insert photo" link like pretty much everywhere else. If that became possible, I suspect participants would be more likely to post pics to use for discussion purposes. And I don't mean, "look at this pretty hole" pics but photos highlighting interesting design concepts, diagrams, etc.
