LED Upgrade - Kitchen - Stove - Counter

The issue is that this forum does not store (host) photos, they must be hosted somewhere else. I use my web site, so it's very easy. Flickr does seem to complicate things, but it's not that hard as you can see:



The key is to grab the proper link. Here's what I did:

Went to your Flickr page and clicked on an image. Then I clicked the Share Photo icon (the arrow pointing to the right, next to the star at the bottom right). On the Share Image dialog, I clicked Embed. Then I opened up Notepad (can use any text editor) and pasted the link. Then I copied the URL of the image. You need to find the link that immediately follows src=. Everything inside the quotes needs to be copied. The link for the photo above is https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2867/33239012695_caf4e9cf6c_c.jpg.

One issue. That link points to the original photo, it is not resized at all, so for large photos like the one I posted, you need to add a width to the image tag. Using 800 as the width is a good size. You can leave the height blank, the browser will automatically scale the height.

So the image tag would look like this (just use the correct braces, I used curly braces so the forum wouldn't display a photo): {img}https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3930/32424605513_67437e47c0_k.jpg width=640{/img}

Moderator edit to re-size picture to forum limit of 640px maximum width.

Miner,
I agree, this Forum isn't really up to date with links and image posting, no direct connection from a user's hard drive to the Forum.

Anyhow, let's see if this helps:







Meh, didn't work for me trying to manually post them. I'd bet there is something in the Flickr URL that this Forum doesn't like. Maybe a Moderator can figure out what the issue is.

I see you're into some audio stuff, too. Looks like you're pushing a pair of Klipsch corner cabs. I like me some Altecs.

I agree AND I sure do not claim to be the sharpest crayon in the box, but I have absolutely no problems posting either links or inserting pics into posts. As already mentioned you do have to do it right since ANY COMPUTER/WEBSITE has procedures that must be followed or you will run into problems if you don't do it correctly.

I certainly do not view the procedure here complicated or hard to follow;)

Very few people find it difficult to use the photo posting page mentioned above http://photoposting.is-great.net/?i=1.
Just drag-drop photo from your PC, copy-paste the auto-created link, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

Keep it simple, don't use options "click for full-scale" or "shorten the URL" - it might or might not work.

Click Preview. If you don't see the photo, try to think. You might have to remove the repeated IMG brackets at the beginning and the end.

Many forums don't offer photo storage on their servers.

Tried three times, they downloaded, they went somewhere!

Nope, every forum im a member of has a SIMPLE tab to post pics.
No wonder this is NOT a popular website.

And i like how soundboy blames the consumer/poster for their lack of user friendly software, classic.

Sorry to the many people looking for info on easy upgrades, this is NOT a user friendly site when you need to jump through hoops to post a pic.

Retired RV Consultant/Designer, i have it all.

It's not at all hard, but you do need a good attitude for it to work for you. It's not exactly the same as other forums, it's true.

Here you go:

Easy Photo Upload & Posting Web App! (1492)
A fast and easy way to include a photo in a forum post. Just drag-n-drop a photo, and copy-n-paste the image link in your message post. Uploads photos directly to IMGUR.com servers. Automatically resizes photos to the max recommended by the Open Roads Forum. Includes a thumbnail preview, and also provides an optional link to permanently delete the photo. The WebApp is available at http://photoposting.is-great.net (Updated 10/03/2016).

I don't think soundguy could have made it any simpler

Yeah, that makes sense - blame the forum software when it's you who doesn't understand the correct process. :S

Go here, upload a pic from your computer, copy the url, and paste it into your post - dead simple. :) It would be helpful if you would limit your pic to a reasonable size by inserting "width=450" or some similar value after .jpg Use the preview function so you can see what your pic will look like relative to the text before you post.

You're welcome. :W

Soundguy,
When using the picture posting app that you posted the link to there is NO need to put in a "width" statement. The app sizes the picture automatically.

Minermark,
In looking at your edits, either you did not follow the directions given in the app or you incorrectly copied the URL from the app after uploading your picture. Yes, you did it right in the test page but did not do it correctly here.

Nope!
No photo(s).
Worked in the photo test thread, but NOT here.
Pretty much a non-user-friendly-Forum.
Funny i post Pics in three other Forums, NO Problem.
