 :swear: So I've tried to upload photos multiple times with no success. I spent hours today on photobucket and other sites trying to get this figured out. I've even tried to take pics with my phone and the lowest setting on my phone is still larger than this website allows. I finally resized them below 300kb and then the stupid website tells me it doesn't accept jpg's but below it says it does! Not sure how you guys post pics but I can't figure it out and frankly I'm so irritated right now that I want to throw my phone, iPad, and laptop in the pasture!!!

At one time you could not post a photo until you had 50 posts, wonder if this is still the case?

best just to use your photobucket account to link them here.  upload them to photobucket, grab the link, throw some img tags around it in the response box here and youre good to go.  dont have to worry about file size that way.

Once you have your photos on Photobucket, you will see 5 links below each photo.(Email & IM, Direct, HTML, IMG and IMG thumb) Left click on the IMG link and it will highlight.  Right click on it and a box will appear.  Click on "copy".  Finally, go back to this site and right click in the box where you type in your response to a post...the same one I'm typing in now.  Click "paste".  With your pictures on Photobucket, you don't have to go through the "Attachments and other option" tab on this site.  Just copy the link right into the body of your message.  You can then post your message or preview it to make changes.  The picture should show up in the "preview" window as well.

Here is a set of pics step by step in photobucket using my phone. Pc or other selection will look different but the URL is what you are going to place here.

Mike

Select Share


Select Get Links


Select all this line


Select Copy (to clipboard)



Here is one purposely corrupted to not show a pic so you can see all of what is pasted.
Paste this (yours of course) link.

If you have already clicked on the picture and opened it in the larger window then yes, left clicking will automatically "copy" the link.  If you are in the main screen that shows multiple pictures on the same page, it doesn't work that way...at least not for me.

Also, be aware that if you do any rearranging of pictures like putting them in a different folder, all your links will be broken and the picture will no longer appear on the website.  The pictures need to stay in their original folder unless you want to redo all of your links on this(and every other) site.
