How to post pictures to the forum

[Pete Tyjas]

A few people have asked recently how to post pictures to the forum.

The easiest way is to open an account with Photobucket (www.photobucket.com)

Then, hit the Upload Icon and drag and drop your pics from your computer to the page. When they have loaded all you need do is click the image that should appear below or look for it in your library.

When you click the image it will enlarge and on the right side there will be a column called "share this photo"

Click the one called IMG and it will automatically copy it and all you'll need to do is paste it in your thread on the forum.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Pete. I've followed your instructions but when I paste onto the thread a Photobucket web address appears instead of the image itself. Am I doing something wrong? Cheers, Johnny

Annoying Photobucket has changed its terms you now need to pay an annual fee for third party hosting/posting of pictures, it's only $40 but still... I don't really want to pay that.
Need to find something else

I find the easiest way to get pics on the forum is through the Tapatalk app, you just upload the pics direct. But, it's limitation is that it is for mobile devices.

For what it's worth I've started using postimage, I actually find it easier to use than photobucket but I suspect it won't be long before they also start charging. Rather annoying to look back through my old posts to see the pictures have disappeared but I suppose there are worse things in life!

Good effort halfstoned... postimage is really easy to use and quick to work out

Yes boisker, seems easier than photo bucket,you can also choose the picture size to upload. Let's just hope they keep it free of charge for third party hosting.
