Posting photos

[irishcas]

I am trying to post a photo that I have no problem posting on another pro boards site.
On here it is saying the fike is too large ??? any ideas

You need to upload the pic to Photobucket and then insert a link to it here Cas

I dont on the other proboard site.
Before they upgraded I needed to do this.
They only upgraded over the weekend (this site upgraded weeks ago) and since then it has been so easy to add photo's.
I dont do hastle

Cas, how big is the other Proboard? All proboards are now limited to how many pics can be uploaded via attachment - unless extra storage space is paid for every month

It's actually far less hassle when you use a host like Photobucket as the pic posts at a good size & folks don't need to click on the attachment to view it

[irishcas]

Not sure what you mean when you say how big is the other pro board
If you mean members ... awful small compared to here
Its way more hassle if I have to use a differant hosting site.
Way easier just adding tjem as they are with other site.
Its fine if that is not an option just wondering why it wasnt

"awful small compared to here" is most likely the reason they haven't run out of attachment storage

All Proboards are now only allowed 200mB attachment storage before paying extra every month

Its no hassle, you can build up photo albums on Photobucket, its very useful. I always use Photobucket on forums and have done for many years.

Does it have to be photobucket? I don't like Photobucket very much. I have tried using flicker and that didn't work (although I may be doing it wrong) I hadn't realised there was a cost involved if we had the option to upload from the computer so I can see now why having the photo hosted elsewhere is good for you, but an alternative to Photobucket would be good.

You can use Flicker Ash . . . are you using the right code? Photobucket have also upgraded since maybe you last used it, it really is quite straightforward to upload your pictures on to it, then just copy and paste the IMG code onto your forum post.

Lets try this then and see if I have it right this time. www.flickr.com/photos/59939933@N08/8503692308/

YES YES YES that was using the BBCODE that is tucked away in the more options in the share button well that is great I will update some old links later.

I don't use Flicker Ash . . . but I believe you need to use the IMG BBcode for the actual picture to appear in your post. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.



Edit to say: Looks like you've had success!

[Ashdog]

I did it Perpetua, you need the BBcode and it is under more options in the share button.
