Posting Pictures, made easier, by using a shortcut

[bka0721]

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.

1492: Thank you so much for this photo posting aid. I see it as a game changer for many of us.

You can rent exotic sports cars here too. Daily I watch a string of Ferrari, Porsche, and other types of supercars head toward Lake Mead.

Posted from my iPhone. No, not mine. A rental in Vegas.

There is definitely a glitch with mobile Safari in the iPhone/iPad. :S If you copy and paste using the app, you'll get gibberish characters with the link.

I have a fix(above), so hold off using the app for iOS devices until I can come up straight forward solution.

Your providing this shortcut for us is greatly appreciated. It is deserving of its own sticky.

Thanks, I was using photobucket with only 10% storage left. It looks like this is unlimited? My iphone 5 will let me copy the img link, but cannot paste it, clicked on full size image and had to copy address bar.

You can find it using the shortcut bit.ly/photo-upload.

Dang, that was easy. Thanks for posting.

You can only upload one photo at a time.

Tuna Fisher, try doing each picture separately. My first attempt I thought I could do several pictures at once but it only holds on to the current one. ( I think!!) What worked for me was having the RV forum open in one tab and the RV.NET Photo Posting open in another tab. Transferred one picture and wrote a narrative while the next picture was loading in the second tab.

Final try....

By god I got it...I tried to post a 2nd picture and it wouldn't let me, I right clicked and it wouldn't copy???

Great tool, thanks for making it. Couldn't be easier.

Thanks Bryan for the shortcut, I will have to try it once I have time to write a trip report or new topic. I am with many others on the technology challenged part.

Thanks Mr. B,

You saved us technologically challenged. It only took me multiple tries to get my first posting with pictures this time! :S

I'm still technologically challenged, thanks for posting my picture of my Honda Trail, it looks nice....I give up.

Maybe I can help, one technologically challenged person to another!!

It has been wonderful to spend the last 5 months living and exploring a land devoid, or seriously limited, of trees. But with all great things, eventually things need to change and am now leaving the desert environment for the mountains and the sweet smell of Pine. Just don’t judge me that I drag my boots, a bit, as I leave the desert. Pointing the Truck Camper toward the mountains full of trees.

When winter begins anew, I’ll return.
