Trouble posting photos

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!

The upload-a-file-to-a-post function hasn't worked for quite a while. ...
I've noticed that happening on quite a few sites. Is space too valuable or do viruses get in that way?

My web service gave me 10 mb when I signed up 15 years ago or so. So in Dec they announced everyone is losing their storage in march. [Merry Xmas!!!]

Sites like Photobucket bug me, in that if you click on a photo a complete new page opens and has to load.

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.

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"

TIA - MFR

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:
