Posting Pictures, made easier, by using a shortcut

Often times, one struggles to get photos of our Truck Campers uploaded onto this Forum. Couldn't there be a simpler way of accomplishing this? Well, there is and a Moderator scored in creating just the tool we can use. That way the pic we load is done quickly. Below is what 1492 posted;

If you're still struggling to post photos in the forums, I've written a minimalistic webpage app that should make it quick & easy. Just drag-n-drop a photo from your desktop/notebook computer, and copy-n-paste the returned image code into your forum post.

Basically, it auto uploads to the free hosting site IMGUR.com. Resizes your photo to the max recommended by the forums. Provides a preview thumbnail, and option to permanently delete the photo from the servers.

You can find the latest link for the web app here.
  • I thought so too. Especially since we already have our photos saved to our hard drive/s and dragging it to a link is so much simpler and saves so many steps. It also saves signing up to a Photo Link to archive something that is already saved to your hard drive. Each time one signs onto a photo page, or any page for that matter, you start getting spam from them and others.

    I use GOOGLE SEARCH for most of my photos. You can see about 99% of my sent photos by typing 'K9PHT 14RT' into google search and when it loads up then select 'IMAGES'. All of the forums immediately forward all of your posts to google search on-line. I use a couple of somewhat unique words combos that is in my signature line. Sometimes I add IMGUR to my unigue search words to get some of those that have been previously posted on google search somewhere.

    All of these photos already have the HTTP assigned address and it works great imputing into the IMAGE builder on her for sending photos.

    I also use IMGUR for storing my various photos. It has all the formats for the various forums etc. IMGUR is a free to use program...

    This has been pretty easy for me to use google as my photo storage place. Like I said at least 99% of those images found on the several pages of listed photos all came from me originally.

    Always got to have a PLAN B hehe...



    Huh?


    lol, that's what I said! Hugh?
  • It is a simpler way of uploading to a hosting site. Cred for making it easier

  • I did a copy and paste. Is this what I am supposed to see?

    On edit...I am glad to see an easy way to post a picture of my motorhome and car trailer. Thank-you!
