How do I get pics onto my ad

xyz2380 reads

You have to place your photos on an image hosting site. (many use imagecoast.com) Then each of your photos will have a url. Copy the url of the photo you want to post, paste it in the picture url box at the bottom of the post you are writing. The photo will show up when someone clicks to open and read your ad or see your photo on the photo only board.

How do I get pics onto my ad
TER does not "host" images They do not store image files on their computers. Image files are huge and take up too much disk storage space. You put a link in the box at the bottom of the posting form in the "Picture URL" box.  When I open a post with a picture, TER sends a message to the hosting site (imagecoast, etc.) to send the image to my browser on my computer. TER is just the middle man.  
.
Your website ad is on a site that lets you upload your pics directly to their computer. They store your image files on their computer.  Here is the URL of one of your pics:
https://cdn.myproviderguide.com/p/1/c/2/6/c/1c26c838f272827a8cc18285ac8c0047-100x100.jpg  
.
By creating a free account on imagecoast or other hosting site, your image files will get something similar:
http:// www imagecoast com/your_account/pictures/picture01.jpg  

I could paste your current ad URL into the box, below, but I will not:
1. myproviderguide is an AD SITE, not an image hosting site. When their computers notice a bunch of weird requests from TER for your picture file WITHOUT actually accessing their web pages, they might suspend or block your ad.
2. TER might remove the pic anyway.
.
Instead, I found a picture of a different Gypsy, Gypsy Rose Lee on Wikipedia:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Gypsy_Rose_Lee_NYWTS_1.jpg/220px-Gypsy_Rose_Lee_NYWTS_1.jpg  
and I will paste that into the box.
