TEST

Ha ha. You have always completed your testing before I get here to look...

Ha ha. You have always completed your testing before I get here to look...

I'm pretty sure the test is just to repeatedly see if the image attachments have been restored as an option here... Unfortunately seems as though hopes have been futile

 

[RustyOldNail]

I test here, then delete, so as not to ruin my seldom image post attachments!
SURPRISE!
If you look at the Venty thread, you can see the latest SUCCESSFUL image…..

Oh oh! I had no idea you caved and found another way to attach photos here... You said you would boycott sharing photos until it came back lol I will go check it out there then! (You know there is another thread that is for test posts, I think that's the sandbox?)

Just linking to help:

The Sandbox: Make test posts here

I created this thread because @cybrguy posted a question on my profile asking where he could make test posts. Use this thread to experiment with the +Quote feature, editing posts, posting pictures and video, and whatever else you want to try. It is not a general discussion thread, although...

I’m still boycotting, but make occasional exceptions. Been using the Post Image site.

Funny. The quote button method (the correct method) is SO much easier than the way I have been doing it all along. What a goof...

Please fix this. Im starting to not post here because images are such a pain in the ass. Actually it is not possible to post a picture from my ipad at all. Simply not possible as the forum puts in the http:// automatically but all image sites are https:// honestly…. how stupid is this?! Its freakin 2024

You can't post images directly from your ipad, the forum doesn't store uploaded images, they need to be hosted elsewhere such as Imgbb or Imgur etc and linked/embedded here.... Hope this helps!

Thanks mate,
im aware of that. But even when uploading via say imgur i get a link that starts with https:// but this forum automatically inserts http:// when i want to link my imgur image as an attachment. Well, the freakin „s“ is missing, so its impossible to insert the link to imgur. Maybe this is a bug with ipad?

This is the EASIEST way I have found…

First go into the image or images on your iPad/phone/etc and turn the location off so it’s not public

Then go here

Upload Image — Free Image Hosting

Free image hosting and sharing service, upload pictures, photo host. Offers integration solutions for uploading images to forums.

imgbb.com

Click upload to start uploading. If you click continue then it seems they want you to create and account

Upload the image(s) then click on a single one once it’s uploaded and it will take you to a page with a bunch of links. You want the *full image BB code* about half way down. A direct copy paste and bam there is you’re pic!

Lmk if that works. Good luck

Hmm, so you can't just click the share icon in Imgur and then just paste it here? It works fine for me on iPhone... but I typically only use Imgur for phone vids and multi-image/slides contained in a single post. For individual image posts I use imgbb and right after selecting and uploading it takes you to a window like this, then I select "BBCode medium linked" from the pop-up menu and click the copy icon and just paste the embed coded link inline anywhere here...:

Yeah you are doing it wrong Sorry, don't use the image button here at all, if you are grabbing a link of image imgur, just paste that here in your post with the rest of the text... It will convert automatically to a link, if you want to display the image itself in line with the text, you will need to use the BB code (which is easier to do from imgbb yes, paste what is in the IMG brackets only without any URL, but imgur is easier to share a whole album here with the link if it's multiple photos like more than three or four) if you can search here or in another thread I pasted exact instructions with screenshots

 

[dtrdrk]

It worked now thanks to your instruction. Awesome, I appreciate it!

Or change your FC settings to request direct uploads from the mods (bearing in mind their guidance on removing the metadata/additional info baked into some image files)

I replied here to keep the vapman thread on topic.
Are you able to upload directly ? My understanding is that this function is disabled and there's no plan to bring in back.

You are correct, it’s been sometime when this feature was removed, so doubtful it’s coming back. Requests were made.
That’s why I seldom post informative photos anymore. Not just the added steps, but as we have witnessed, all the older photos that were posted to whatever free image sites at the time, and then went under… those photos are no longer viewable in many older threads now. Since that can eventually happen again, well…….

 

[cybrguy]

I certainly get that and have been very disappointed when images have disappeared due to a vendors failure or change in policy. The way I look at it, though, is I'm not posting for permanence or to create a historical record. I am posting to express or share something with users currently and I find that an image enhances that much of the time. It sucks when somebody comes into the thread and reads it back to the beginning and images as descriptions are missing, but for everybody who's currently reading the thread, they get the benefit of the images.
The inconvenience of having to use third party hosters is just something I contend with. I would prefer, and it would be easier, if we could host the images in the thread, but that is a decision for the mods and the site owner.
