Posting Photos from Postimage or other Image Hosting Sites

[stikpusher]

Here is a quick tutorial on how to post images on here from your Postimage, or similar image hosting account.

First, you need to go the the main create thread or reply menu, then on that menu page, select the photo icon from the top menu bar



When the sub menu appears on your screen, delete the http:// code that appears in the URL line. If you do not, the code will be corrupted and the image will not appear




Next you will need to copy the direct link image code from your Postimage account for the image that you want to post. First you will need to select the share icon from the top menu bar



then highlight and copy the direct link code, which is the second line down of codes on Postimage 



Lastly, you paste the copied code onto the sub menu on the Image URL line, then click on the Insert Image icon. Repeat the process as needed for more photos.

The way I discovered is almost the same,but I copy the "Hot link for Forums" line,then I paste the copied link anywhere I want right in the text of my typed message.

This method also works for pulling an image off of the internet. Right click on the image for the code to copy, then paste that into to sub menu prompt after deleting the http:// code.

Flickr works the same.....just go to 'Sharing' on the picture and copy the 'BB Code' for the size picture you want and paste it in wherever you want the picture to appear..... Don't need to use the BBCode tab either.

I have a video I made for an older gentleman on the open wheel forum I could share the link to here if anyone is interested. I made it specifically for his situation where he was taking photos with his iPad and uploading them to the Imgur app. Then using the Imgur site to post on the forum. It would work in the identical way here. If anyone needs help in a similar way just let me know.

Ok. I made this specifically for a gentleman named Jim, so disregard the names. I can also try to borrow my wife’s phone again sometime and try to shoot one specifically for this website. But it works the same here as there. That’s just another pro board I’m a part of. Maybe it will help someone to post images using Imgur.
