Yup. If you want photos to stay around longer you may want to post them up via a photo hosting site. I suggest posting a sticky Ross asking those who post in tech related and "important" threads to host them else where so people can check back in (as per above) and see them in 12 months, 18 months, etc. That's what I do on my site in the FAQ. I host them all on my site, that way everything shows, always. Plus it's free space.
MJB - If you're after a specific photo (in your case tire combo?) start a new thread and request some bud.
