Its 2020 - How are we posting Pics in our post's

I suddenly remembered why I left this forum many years ago - the inability for this site to host pics....unless that has changed. I see 95% of the posts don't include pics. How are folks posting pics these days? I've got a great new Stereo write-up I want to post but it'll do the community zero benefit without pics.
  • We still have to go here to upload them one at a time, copy the link and then paste, repeat until you did all the pics you wanted to share. It’s a pain and one of the reasons i slowed down in posting. FB groups kinda took over

    I upload them to my own site, and link them here using the icon that looks like the little image in the toolbar.
  • We're posting as instructed by the sticky in forum support.
  • Personal pictures go from my private albums, although I hesitate as that allows people to track your albums and you never know what wacko will read the forum.
    For general posting, use the link from stickies as mentioned.
    Few years ago we used photobucket, who start asking for money.
    Imgur did not do it.... yet...
    This is the cheapest forum I know still exist, yet it is gaining most visitors on the subject.
    When I still have rv.net T-shirt, haven't heard about administrators sponsoring anything in last years?
    Actually I don't hear about many rallies organized at all.

    Yep, as I recall that was one of my beefs when Photobucket began charging I too stopped posting and sharing.

    I get hesitant of linking to my personal stuff. Heck I even quit Facebook three years ago because of security and privacy concerns.

    I saved this Photo posting to my tool bar and use it to place photo's.
    Good luck.


    Yep, that's what I'll use.

    Yea, I logged in here last month - first time in probably three or four years when all the Photobucket BS impacted everyone. Heck, I still see my trip reports on here still but with the Photobucket logo plastered all over them--sad. Yea, I used to remember the multitude of rallies as well. Although going through the truck camper forum its good to see some newbies on here!!
  • I write alot of my posts up as blog entries on my blog, then use a BBCode converter to turn it into a forum post and copy that. The blogsite handles all the images and what not.
