Member Yggdrasil Posted October 17, 2022 Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 How to upload pictures? I tried with google URL from my photos, but the insert bar turned red, which I presume is a fail. So I signed up for Flickr, got the URL and inserted it into the bar and that turned red. So what photo hosting site does this website accept? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMK Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Where are you trying to upload pictures to, a normal post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yggdrasil Posted October 18, 2022 Author Member Share Posted October 18, 2022 Yes. At the bottom of the message box it says insert image from URL. Last time I used a forum such as this was 20 years ago. And I'm no spring chicken any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMK Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Test. Nowadays a lot of websites disable hotlinking images. It's probably best practice to save the image first then 'insert' the image into a post. I used the insert image from url in this post. It worked from the site I linked from.

It worked from the site I linked from. 20 years ago I belonged to a Japanese fansubbing website and I vaguely remember to add photos, I had to type [image]url-example[\image] Is this what you meant? I looked through some old the old topics and someone mentioned imgur, which I have. So what hosting do you use and are you using smartphone? Would this cause the problems I having? Edit- So I typed in Google. Insert image feom Url. Right click etc. So basically I should be using my PC and not my mobile to upload pictures? Am I right @SMK?
