When adding an image to post, the create thread view has two options:
add image to post - this adds imgbb database
upload images- this adds to tsfimagehost
Why two different options?

This thread describes the 3 methods available for adding images to posts. Two plug-ins (Simple Image Upload and TSF Image Host) provide convenient options for members who do not have a different image host. The Simple Image Upload plug-in (the imgbb.com image host accessible using the "Add image to post" button) was the first of the two that was added to the Forum. The TSF Image Host (accessible by members who have established an account by using the "Upload images" button) was procured by me after the Photobucket "images for ransom" debacle had decimated a large portion of the Forum's posts. Given that many members had been using (and continue to use) the imgbb.com host, it was decided to keep it as an option. I control the TSF Image Host so I can guarantee that it will never become a fee-for-service host -- I can't say the same for the imgbb.com image host.

I will pay more attention to what I use in the future.
