uploading photos - SV650.org

DryRob · 03-05-18, 02:17 PM

I'm having trouble uploading photos of some gear I'm trying to sell, I've tried different file formats and reducing the sizes of the files but it's not having any of it.

Do I need to use a hosting website now?

Yep. Forum is broken

ok, any recommendations? I'm looking for something free and with an app that doesn't spy on me.

I use Flickr. It's free but it's not the best interface, especially from mobile

Onedrive or Dropbox work if you have either of those. Share the file and embed the link into the forum post.
Or you can put pictures in a folder on Google photos and share a link to the folder. I don't think it's possible to embed pics in posts using Google photos though - either that or I'm not smart enough to work out how.

I gave flikr a go but it hasn't worked as I expected, how do I embed an image in a post rather than just post a link?

The photos are shared to public on Flikr but when I used the (IMG)photolink(/IMG) nothing showed up so I deleted the (IMG) bits to display the links.

Am I asking questions that have already been asked? I couldn't find anything through the search.

What I do is go to flickr and click on the picture to bring it up in a little pop-up. Then right click the picture and select "copy image address" (or whatever the option is on your browser). Then click on the "Insert Image" (

) button on the forum and paste the address in to there.
