Poochie Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Please tell me a site that you're happy with to host your photos. A site that provides direct links to copy and paste to this forum is what I'm looking for. I'm using Photobucket, and while it's serviceable, it's slower than Christmas. As an added bonus, I edited some photos and when I uploaded them, they come out unedited on the site. I don't know how it did that. Anyway, I'm ready to switch to whatever. Quote
ckreef Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Why not just direct post pictures to the forum? Cuts out the middle step. Quote
CeramicChef Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Why not just direct post pictures to the forum? Cuts out the middle step. I was about to suggest the very same thing. Makes life much easier! If you ever change hosting services, it's my understanding that the pictures embedded in the post are lost. Quote
ckreef Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 If you ever change hosting services, it's my understanding that the pictures embedded in the post are lost. Very true. If you ever abandon the hosting account the pictures are lost from the forum. For that reason I always suggest people do direct posting of pictures on any forum that allows it.

Poochie Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Posted August 20, 2015 Sounds good. Where is the place I go to post directly to the forum? I'm all for it. Quote
ckreef Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Sounds good. Where is the place I go to post directly to the forum? I'm all for it.If using Tapatalk use the camera icon to select from your gallery and insert picture at current cursor location. If on a pc with full website forum - when adding/editing a post go to the bottom of the page and click Attach Files. Browse to your picture and select it. You can then go and attach as many pictures as you want. Start typing your post. When you get to the appropriate spot go down to the attached pictures and click Add to Post for that picture. It will insert the picture at the current cursor location but you won't see it until you save your post. I hope this helps - definitely a better way to add pictures to the forum as they will never go away unless Dennis deletes them. Please ask if you have any more questions. Quote
Poochie Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks for the info, ckreef. I'll give that a try next time I post a photo. I see now. I have to click on "more reply options", then attach files shows up. I'll give it a whirl later. Quote
tony b Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Go for it, poochie! It's super slick! I monitor the Forum with Tapatalk, but only post pics on my PC. Quote

Please, please, please DO NOT host your images outside the forum.. We have so many great post with dead images because of outside image hosting years ago. It's easy to load multiple images directly to the forum.. Quote
