Can anyone share if the Gold Member status allows for direct picture uploads from a personal PC without having to host them some where?
I'm burnt out with photo bucket....

You still have to host it on the server.  I may have misunderstood your OP.

PS: i don't have the best luck with the media server.

So you are saying I can save a picture from my PC directly to this site? Example; If I wanted to post an item for sale I could upload a pic from my PC to the ad itself or would it sill have to be hosted somewhere?

It'd still have to be uploaded.

The difference would be you are uploading it to the ar15.com media server vs photobucket.

between the two, I'd pick photobucket, but honestly, I use flickr for most things these days.

arfcom profile tool has a media file section where you can browse for a file on your pc's hard drive.

Select the file you want and hit upload. The file magically appears on arfcom's server and there is a thumbnail of the file under the media file section of your profile. The links will look like this: http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=58475

Be advised that there is a 1mb size limit on the pictures so you may have to use an editor to change the photo's properties/size.
