You are supposed to link to photographs hosted on your accounts elsewhere. That's what we all do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) This forum isn't meant to store images, the attachment functionality is just a small extra (you have like 40MB or so). Use an image host for a serious number of pictures. Apparently there's also a limit for how many pictures hosted here you can have in a post. The solution is the same - an external image host.

I use imgbb.com. Quick and easy, account optional. Just paste a direct link to the picture (forget the embed options) and it will appear in any post.

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 damn....Dropbox or Sugarsync doesnt work...only with a extern link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Stuff like Dropbox or Google Photos often fails because the permissions for the image must be set to public in some way. And sometimes it just seems buggy and convoluted. A site meant to be an image host is probably the easiest and quickest to use. https://imgbb.com/ for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasmantle Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Thanks for this, I've just uploaded some photos to the forum for the first time so its kinda answered a question I was about to ask. I normally use Flickr to host images for another forum I'm a member of and never had any problem with their site so it may be worth a try.

If you post (simply paste) the full URL, it works. Unfortunately, image hosts hide the full URLs like state secrets because then the image just gets displayed, but clicking on it will do nothing (as opposed to bringing you to the image host site). So you have to wring the real image URL out of their grabby hands and manually paste it. Example: Quote https://ibb.co/kB4V0Yd Pasting this will simply give you a link. This is the "link" they give you. But pasting the actual full URL (hotlinking) Quote https://i.ibb.co/fFkVtmc/x.jpg will produce the image (for the above quote, I manually had to make it appear as text link), like this (try coping and pasting this link into one of your posts and see): In this case, I visited the first link and used "copy image address" from right clicking on the image displayed on imbgg to get the real URL. It's a bitch on mobile, but that applies to lots of this page Edited September 14, 2019 by meepmeepmayer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @Marty Backe I use Flickr (www.flickr.com) and they have a "share" option for every image, which provides you with the magic URL... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
