A site supporter can upload them directly to 'Scapers. Otherwise, you have to post them somewhere (Imgur or Google Drive, for instance) and send a link.

Also, if anyone has a "list" of perks that you get from being a site supporter that would greatly help my decision. There are quite a few fun things Id like to share but need a more convenient way to post things.

As far as I know, no it doesn't get any easier to post pics directly to the site via a phone camera. You do get some storage space her though I believe, I don't think I've ever used it though. I still just host my pictures somewhere else and link them.

Notifications should be on again, or will be soon.

You get access to the gallery, where you can upload pictures from your phone or computer. You have to link from the gallery to a post from there, though.

What I do is upload pictures to discord and just have a personal “uploading” server, and use that to host the images.

Thanks for the answers everyone. I was mainly wondering if it was more convenient with the use of a phone. Ill have to see what Im going to shoot for.

Discord works for embedding images in the forums? That's fantastic news! Now my Imgur struggles are over!

[Pumpkin_King]

Yeah! Just open the image in discord, hit "open original" and it opens it in a browser window. Copy the URL for image tagging.

Beware with Discord : in a privacy aspect, you are just completely giving all your stuff to them.

Following their privacy policy, everything you upload to Discord platform belong to them and they can do whatever they want with it... (even claim rights on it one day or another...).

Could be OK if it's not too valuable stuff or things you don't bother a lot... but otherwise you should keep that in mind when you upload stuff to Discord.
Uploading to HeroScapers feels like a very nice feature for reliability point of view : if you upload here stuff to post on the same place, the links should be available as long as needed... and less privacy risks (at least.. I suppose. I did not read Heroscapers.com privacy policy. :P ).

Avatar became bigger now, working..!
... but I'm not even sure that i finally got a real answer to my question... it is really linked to Contributor role, or is it just an Admin trick..?

Thanks all for the answers to my questions. One other very simple question. Is the Contributor badge pretty much the same as the site supporter badge, but is just given to certain individuals for no charge? I understand that people asking for the contributor status are people that intend to make content for the site, but what is it that makes them eligible for those freebies? It comes down to: Do I want to spend 40 dollars on something that essentially others get for free. The questions are to help me justify that. I myself have contributed to quite a few projects and contests for years along with other endeavors but want to know the difference?
P.S. I'm not asking to be a contributor or get any freebies, just wanting to know the difference.

I don't think getting something out of it is the right reason to become a site supporter. I think the best reason is you love the site and want to support its continued existence.

I think I probably could've made a decent case to become a contributor if that's the route I wanted to go. But I chose another direction.
