Is there any way to upload pictures directly into posts without using another site like photobucket? If not, there srsly needs to be. >.> Like how you can upload pictures directly to become your avatar, there should also be an option for that in posts.

Smf does support that option, but it's not turned on here.
Server hosted attachments use a fair bit of bandwith and can be hotlinked to elsewhere, which takes up even more. Remotely hosted images don't use any bandwidth to display.
