How do you guys handle your images on the forum?

[Shockerz]

I'm sure this has been covered lots of times but it's a while since I've uploaded any images onto the forum since photobucket.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a quick procedure of the most common method to upload images on here I'll look at sharing a thread on my leather cue case making from the last year.

You can use a free image-sharing site such as ImgBB, without registering (you can register for free), to upload your images, you may have to do the “not a robot” checks quickly.
ImgBB.com
Click on "Start Uploading"
Browse to the file and select it, click Open
Click "Upload".
Change "Embed Codes" to "BBCode full linked", then hover over the code, a "COPY" will appear, click this.
Go to your TSF post and paste. You can repeat for multiple images in a single post.
There are other sites as well.

We should also be able to use the "Upload Attachments" button at the bottom of the page, this used to work fine. Don't know if it's been fixed yet, lets see.

Can you see the image above?

[John Flaf]

Yes PB it's there.

Attachments on vBulletin is still there but has always been a bit of a pain to Manage (not to use but to manage) due to restrictions of file size (pixels), number of attachments, I never found how to clear files once I hit the limit.

I will make a note to the new techie

Thanks John.

So Shockers, just click "Upload Attachment" then browse to the picture you want, then select the size and that's it.

Cheers Dean. Could you also ask him to take a look at the broken smilies issue at some point. Ta.

Thank you Dean, I've got pictures on my phone but being half blind I couldn't be bothered trying to upload them, I might give it a go now.
well typed in imageBB.com and I haven't a clue how to start from there , I hate tech, why can't things still be made out of gears and springs ,so I can fix them.
thats because it's img, not image you melt lolz

I've printed it so shouldn't need to ask again!

Only with custom software.

Nice photo PatBlock. Attachment facility didn’t work for me. Seemed to upload the photo ok. When I came to post it I was asked to add text. Added text then posted. Text appeared but not the image. Any ideas.

[DeanH]

I saw the photo as an attachment, which requires clicking onto to enlarge.

As I said before, the Attachment function does work BUT I have always found it difficult to manage; 1) able to store only a limited number of images; 2) unable to delete old images so new ones can be uploaded and attached.

I have not used the Attachment function for years as ,mine is full and nothing I can do. Hence I use ImgBB (is that what Rubyf calls "custom software"? not what I call it ).

I may ask the new techie is there anything that can be done about it.

[Nifty50]

From my tablet.
still can't get this to work. Will stick with the IMGBB.
