    Hi everyone,

    Can someone please explain to me how to post photos. Every since photobucket changed its policies I can no longer post photos. I am now on google photos but all I seem to be able to do is post links and not actual photos.

    Also if anyone can recommend a photo hosting site if Google photos isnt good enough then please do.

    Thanks

    Store the photo you wish to post on your PC.
    At the bottom right of the screen there are 3 options - Post Reply, Upload a File, and More Options.
    Choose Upload a File.
    Browse to the photo you wish to upload, and select it.
    Select the placement of the photo, and choose Insert Full Image.
    If it is the wrong image, you can select Delete at the bottom right of the screen.
    From there, select Post Reply, and the image will be included.

    Yes, for me it also works like that from my mobile devices.
    Wish we could post short vids without having to put it on YouTube or something similar...

    It’s quite easy to upload photos using the method suggested by Pezulu.

    For google photos, take your picture, open it in a new tab then copy it onto your forum post. That's what works for me on chrome.

    If on mobile, save your photo to the device then upload through the forum. Photos will be in a folder called "restored"

    In terms of getting your photos onto your computer from your phone, instead of using a photo-hosting site like google, you could email them to yourself from your phone by clicking "share" and then download them onto your computer directly from your emails. Then, the "upload a file" function works easier too because you can select the photo from your downloads on your browser (or from wherever you decide to save them on your computer).

    Yeah - I gave up after many years of div/0 ... I rescale photos on my PC to 800x800 then use the upload file button right bottom, then just insert all once uploaded.

    Unfortunately we only have 10GB of Hard Drive space on our server and it's almost full already, so no you can't fill up our 1gb of space left with video's, lol. Youtube has millions of free gigs for you to use. ;)

    Give yourself 20 years and you will be in my position :tt2:. I will be retired telling you how great it is and reminding you that you only need to hold out for another 20 years

    Now to make use of my new found skill
