I give up

[KW900A]

I didn’t think I was stupid, but now I’m starting to wonder. Can someone please walk me through how to post pictures. I used to use photobucket like everyone else. I have tried google, Flickr, and Imgur and cannot for the life of me figure out how in the hell to post an image with any of them. I’ve read through some older threads on this, but I’m at a total loss here.

Well, I downloaded tapatalk and can seem to attach them through here. So that is sufficient enough for me I think.

Flicker doesn't seem to work from the mobile app anymore.

Oddly, my photobucket app still works, although I've paid to use it for several years. The hosting works better for my needs and I post maybe a pic a day on average.

It's funny how people used a service to make money and then bitched up a storm because photobucket wanted in on it. Nevermind the increased bandwidth as a result of successful businesses. Everybody wants to leech, and bitch when the tit dries up. They don't get that they caused it.

I use imgur photo hosting but you can also click the Forum Insert Image button and select the pic from your computer.

Insert Image button

I had been using that feature. But it quit attaching a few days ago.

I use Imgur now. Click on the photo you uploaded into your imgur app. An icon appears at the bottom. Click it and select copy link. Then paste link here with [img] code around it. Tapatalk provides that code under the + button next to a reply window.

Once you know how, it’s fast. And you can control your pics, unlike tapatalk uploads.

Just ran a test for quick and easy photo insertions.

I clicked the "Insert Image" icon - picture of a tree in the second row of icons in the message block. Clicked "From Computer" Clicked "Browse" ... navigated to the photo I wanted to post, selected it, then clicked "Upload File(s)" under the "Browse" button.

Seemed to work had to try it because I don't usually do it this way.

I normally upload photos to my album on WEVO, or use Flickr. On those hosting sites I just do a Copy / Paste of the BB Code directly into the message.

Is there a file size limit on that or something? The post of the scope in classifieds, I tried to upload 3 pictures. I could only upload 2, and haven’t been able to get any to upload since. It will go through the motions, but will not actually post.

Thanks joelski, I will fool around with imgur some more. I know PB had the handy post image link. I copied the link in Flickr and put the IMG tags around it but it didn’t like it. Also I used the tree icon on here and tried posting the url but it wanted a .jpeg extension or something similar.

When I got the link from imgur it looked the same with no extension, so I assumed it wouldn’t work either, but never tried it.

Imgur used to work for me from my iPad, but something changed and no longer. The tree icon works to post from my photo library most of the time here. But only thumbnails with the same format on M4C.

Test post now via tree:

Success! My favorite bike in 50+ years of riding. Though mine was green.

So annoying.

Tree icon, add file, upload. Nothing. Window goes away and there is no attachment

It WAS working

That is exactly how it malfunctions for me. Later it starts working again. No idea why.

[KW900A]

Well, at least I’m not the only one then. I just tried it a half a dozen times with no luck.

I think tapatalk has a default limit of 50 images. you can go into your account setup and see what you've uploaded and delete old ones from there. It's a bandwidth protection for the hosting server for the site.

[KW900A]

Ok. Imgur works. Thanks joelski

The site upload has a size limit. If you crop just a slight amount off a iPhone pic it loads. Just disappears at the native size.
