The whole thing has gone to cock. (new expression for me)

Their blacklisting is quite effective. And I refuse to go through contortions to view pics posted there.

Do the BB codes on Imgur work or has the whole thing gone to cock

The whole thing has gone to cock. The only way to see the pics is if you have a browser extension add-on or if you hit the reply button, then the pic appears in the post reply box. The reason you can see it is because it's in your cache.

Might I suggest using a more proven image host like postimage.org, imgbb.com or even (heaven forbid) tinypic?

@cybrguy and @Summer, thanks.
The image showed for me while posting it but I only half crossed my fingers.
Now means I've to take everything from Imgur over to Imgbb.
Not looking forward to it.

'Gone to cock' or 'Gone tits up' which ever you prefer cybrguy.

I'm old so wishful thinking, I'll go for the gone tits up.


My votes for postimage.org Don't know if imgbb can upload multiple pics at one time, but postimage can.

Fukin fone and forums. Font changes after I've posted.

 

[cybrguy]

I see. You are trying to post an image from "the other place". That probably won't work...

 

[phattpiggie]

I'm using Imgbb now and it's been fine.
Luckily I post videos.
Fone does what it pleases with font size.
It looks perfectly fine until I hit the 'post reply' and then it's all over.
Does the same thing elsewhere so it Sambloodysung.

I don't use my phone for the web much just because the screen is so small, but when I do I often find annoyances. Sometimes changing the browser you use may resolve some of them. It's worth a shot.
If you are on an iPhone you may have fewer options. On my android phone I tend to use Dolphin...

Testing, testing.....
Please stand well back, folks. This might get messy.

That's direct link with postimage.
Seems OK.

Anyone know how to turn a pic into thumbnail. Right now I only have the meager editing tools in MS Pictures. Is there maybe a free windows editing program with this feature?

MS Paint is all you need. A thumbnail is just a resample of the original image. In Paint, select Resize, then switch to pixels and set the size to something like 64, which is a typical thumbnail size.

Test of imgur pic Herbie with OGB glass mouthpiece

No. Then I hit the reply button and from the reply box, inside the quoted text, I could see the herbalizer pic.
It's like if quoting your message I repaired the pic. It is visible only in my post lol.

 

[Summer]

@MinnBobber, no, can't see. You're using imgur so do your really expect other people to be able to see the pic when you've known for months that imgur does work on FC any longer?

 

[MinnBobber]

...............................................
I had heard here or another forum that imgur does work if you know the workaround----which I don't know.
Is that not the case---imgur won't work ever?

Is there any way to get pics here from my laptop documents or picture areas??

 

[cybrguy]

No, it is not the case. Imgur is broken (intentionally) for us here in FC. You can install an addon on your browser that will let YOU see pics by killing your referrer, but that may/will kill other pages you go to that require one and it won't help others see your pics.

And no you can't post pics here from your computer, you have to host them on a hosting site like tinypic.com. "The other place" allows posting pics directly but FC does not.

 

[justcametomind]

Btw I can see the pic. Original and quoted message.

...........................................................
that's what I meant before.
I coulda swore imgur pics are sometimes seen, by some.
Any idea why that is??

 

[cybrguy]

If you reply to the pic you can see it in the reply (before you post it) as that doesn't use a referrer. If you have referrers turned off in your browser you can see it. The referrer shows what site you are coming from to access the pic. If fuckcombustion shows in the referrer the image is blocked at imgur and isn't sent back.

Referrers are required on many secure sites like banking sites or sites behind a pay wall.

@MinnBobber, the reason you can see the pic is because it's in your cache.

thanks, yes I know that now . It's just odd that some can see imgur pics and some cannot.
justcametomind can see them but other cannot

 

[cybrguy]

I suspect he has unknowingly disabled referrers. There are a number of security addons that do it by default and you need to manually re-enable them.
