how do I post photos so they are visible on the thread?

I haven't been able to post via IG links lately, it's probably broken again ):

 

Ive posted a bunch of pics over the years, but ill be damned if i can figure this out and it is pissing me off.

Im in the new thread window, i click the 'image' icon and a window pops up to copy the url, which i do (just like ive always done) and all i get is a little box with 'img'.
btw...im on a mac desktop, have tried the same thing with Fuckr and photofucket

RAGEQUIT !

 

Same issues as all above; I can get flickr to work from my desktop, but if I make it private to keep it off my photostream and other feeds, it won't show here. It would be good to be able to post shots for the unusual YJA auction page without: a) broadcasting it all over; and b) not spending an hour on it.

 

Thanks already got to imgur and gave it a try; works fine like you said and I can leave flickr for the snotty art crap I do. Yay!

 

I've seen an uptick in people posting and not able to post pics, and I just tried to post something and wasn't able to post a pic either.

Anyone more savvy able to assist?

So, I'm using the pic icon like I have done in the past and tried just pasting the URL in the field that pops up,
then I tried putting [ img ] [ /img ] around it, but neither worked.
I feel like in the past, imgur gave more options for links, but now just I just see option to copy URL.

 

I’ve been having some problems with imgbb image hosting site, so I switched to

https://freeimage.host/

*click on the “Start Uploading” button then locate your image and upload it

*After uploading, select “HTML full linked” from the drop-down menu (make sure you select this option)

*a slew of text spaghetti then appears in the dialog box below the drop down menu, hit the “copy” button to copy the spaghetti of text, which will look something like this…

href="https://freeimage.host/i/FBbSQ0F"><img src="https://iili.io/FBbSQ0F.md.jpg" alt=

*select the string of text that appears between “src=“ and “ alt=“, see the hot pink highlighted text above
*copy this text string and paste it into the SB image dialog box

NOTE: this doesn’t seem to work with instagram links. You could always do a screen shot of the pic (and crop the pic), or those of you with graphics software, can export images to a file and upload the file

 

Thanks, Grace! I'll try that.

 

I use postimages.org here myself but any/all of these websites will eventually rot and the images will likely break eventually.

 

flickr still works perfectly. just have to be on a pc tho. hover the download icon and select view all sizes. pick the size you want and right click the photo, select "copy image address" then paste into the IMG URL field on here.
