I'm fairly good with computers, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to upload photos on this site no matter how I try. I've tried making sure they're not too large, I've tried URL links, nothing is working for me and I always get some sort of error message no matter what I do. I'd like to show some of my work for feedback but seem hopelessly unable to. It may be something very simple I'm not doing, but I just can't figure it out. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Do you mean uploading to the Photo Album or to a post?
The easiest way is to load to the Photo Album first and then link the picture in your posts (or use another photo sharing app such as Photobucket, Flickr or Shutterfly).
Here in the sci-fi forums back a few years ago Griffworks posted a sticky tutorial for posting images using Photo Bucket, but on the down side Photo Bucket has not been working correctly for a few months now.
I use HostPic.org. It's very basic, no bells or whistles, no photo editing features, but it serves its purpose. They delete images after about 2 years, so don't use it for anything you want to keep permanently.
To the OP, typically here at HobbyTalk you are unable to post photos for the first 5 posts. Some people are able to make thumbnails work as links to hosted photos though.
I will link this thread to administration for review and follow up of the photo hosting process here at HobbyTalk that was noted above.
If anyone who has already posted or anyone who is also having issues - wants to bring their specific issues forward - please add them to this thread.
I will bring a link over to the photo tutorial thread mentioned shortly.
As was mentioned above you need to post a photo image url link for it to work. If you are looking at an "album" photo at a photo hosting site that url is not an image link and will not function in the HobbyTalk photo pop up window process.
The one problem I'm having is when I click on a link to Photo Bucket the page comes up but no image, instead the little rotating thing does just that it keeps on rotating and I do believe I'm not the only one here who's been having this problem. I've been expierencing this on SSM as well, but maybe it can be fixed here on HT.
The process is similiar at other hosting sites. More specifically - make sure you open an image file and use the provided html url address and cut and paste it into the HobbyTalk pop up window to insert an image to your post or PM. :cheers2:
So in the next thread I open I find the OP has got the thumbnail posting process working for him! :thumbsup:
Can you (the OP) check your settings in the posting rules box at the lower left of the page and let me know if you "may" attach attachments and if your code is set to "on"
For the op - try loading a photo again and if you get an error message use your mouse to highlight the message you get - to do that go to the start of the text message and hold your left mouse button down. Now move you mouse over the text to highlight it. (It should turn to a blue back ground) Releae the mouse button and move over the high light ed text and now right click on it - then select copy.
Either post it in that thread and submit a new reply or bring it back here and paste it into a post here!
PM me back if you need more guideance. :cheers2:
