Why isn't flickr giving me an embed option when clicking share?

For some reason whenever attaching 2 pictures using the link below it only attaches one of the pictures even though the link for the 2nd picture is attached in the post.

 Is it only me?

What does YT stand for? I’m trying to add a video to my TR but it says it is too large (it’s only 19 seconds)

Is Flickr still the best option for TR photos?

What about short videos?
YouTube is a hassle to upload and for some to view, are there any HTML5 video hosting sites that can embed in DDF?

Is first post updated, or is there a more efficient way to upload pics in today's day and age?

General question on TRs and photos:
Do most readers enjoy TRs with more photos? Or less is more?

Writing a TR for one of my longer trips, and I'm realizing that it'll be really really long if I add in more than a few photos here and there.

Feedback on photo upload options:

Previously, when publishing Trip Reports, I would upload the images via the DDF embedded Postimages button. It was fast, easy to utilize, and retained my photo name in the link so that I could identify it. Most important of all, it allowed me to upload a hundred or so photos at once.

With the new "Insert image" button on the forum, adding photos has become clunky. It takes forever for the photos to upload, it renames it so that it is not identifiable, and it only allows a single photo to be uploaded at a time. It crashed my browser more than once, which meant that I had to reformat the entire report I had so painstakingly put together.
