Probably they would, but the technical issues on 70 thousand plus people uploading a few GB of pictures a day, in any number of formats, might have an impact on their system.
I'd think that this will develop over time as communications systems improve and can handle higher data loads more effectively.
By the way, I think you can upload pictures onto discussions anyway, regardless of your profile pics. I have 19 pics on my profile, but I've uploaded many more.

yeah, but for the ones on your profile you don't get paid, i was talking about the ones in interests and i think they can because before this rule of only 10 or sometin like that everybody uploaded a lot, i made on uploading photos like 7 $ a day for real

I think that's an argument in favor of more pics. If people are uploading your pics, it's an added attraction to the site. There are some sites that have whole stocks of images for sale, and myLot could do that on a commercial basis, and give us a cut. We'd both do OK out of that, because the pics here are actually pretty good.
This would need to be done outside the way they're now accessed, which wouldn't work commercially. Someone looking for image stock could just browse a separate image catalog, and buy a selection. Licensing would be like the uploads are now, maybe a bit better, with preferably no resale license to the buyers, or added royalties and the people who post the images retaining copyright. (Saves myLot doing some quirky legal gymnastics, just add to terms of service if people want to do that.)
Profile pics can currently be accessed by anyone, signed in or not. Maybe another revenue source, just add an interest if you want to sell them like that.

You can upload many photos to your profile but you dont get paid for them. You can upload photos to your discussions and responses. Fot the latest scoop on photos check this discussion link:

Mylot answered an email I sent them and they did not say there was only 10 allowed all they would say was that they would not divulge how the earnings for photos were estimated but they must relate to the topic.

I am sure they will always listen to us as they do try to work very hard to improve the forum day aftr day! I think they will consider any ideas from us seriously if they do found it to be reasonable to accept. For the photos that concern I think they will need sometime and am sure they were work hard on it now.

Why? I mean you can already upload pictures to each catergory anyway and i don't believe there is a limit to how many you can do ... plus you can post pictures with discussions you start and then you can for each of your answers once you reach a certain amount of points.
If you are concerned about it then just contact mylot via email with the contact button at the bottom of the screen and i'm sure they'll read your email eventually and put it on their list of suggestions

Yes, of course any site should listen to they're fans, customers, obbsessors etc. If enough people say yeah yeah or no no then that'll most likely be the outcome. Unless its toally outrages like give us all a 100 bucks. In this case I agree because people want to see alot of pics from other people including me. Great point.

You can try... but if they are not allowing it, I guess they must have their own reasons. Could be cost, technology constraint, their own management belief... we wouldn't know really.
