    Uploading pictures on here.....help needed, please.

    Since photobucket changed I`ve been unable to post pictures. I tried with Imgur, managed to upload one, then forgot how to do it. Just tried again with no success.

    I don`t use a mobile phone for pictures, all mu stuff is stored on computer. Photobucket was fine till it became clogged up with adverts .

    I`ve tried everything with Imgur but given up........what am I doing wrong?

    Nowadays I use my MacBook for the text. And the Tapatalk App to add pics directly from my phone. No more third party storage for me!

    I changed to Flikr which works with Windows and Chromebooks, but I would suggest doing a search as there were several alternatives discussed at the time.

    If you don't want or need to manage an online library and just wish to post a picture and forget about it, then as said, postimg is utterly and completely foolproof.

    I use a Samsung J5. Really easy to use, under £200 and can send photos directly from it. No computer needed. Avoid all that moving from a to b to c.
    Brilliant for ebay too. Just upload photos straight from the phone.

    Brendan, I think you have the Tapatalk app as well, is that right?

    Unlike eBay, the TZ-UK site doesn't host pictures itself. Tapatalk host them for you if you use the app which is why it is so easy (and usually what I do even though I have Imgur).

    Yes I have the Tapatalk app. But I didn't realise it was the app that let me upload photos. Shows how much I know !!
    Well worth getting a phone for so many things which are much easier to do than with a computer.
    Ebay: it takes me 5 minutes to upload an item. On the pc half an hour !

    Here is a link to one of your photos stored on the Tapatalk server. I posted the link so you can see it but normally Tapatalk embeds it as an image.

    If you click on the link you'll see your picture. Actually you'll need to delete the space between the h and the t - Tapatalk is so smart that it displays this as a photo even though I don't want it to.

    When you upload the image, you’ll have a list of options, both size and links.
    Huge Thumbnail provides a 1024x1024 image, and Large thumbnail provides 640x640 – if your image is between those two size wise, then just opt for the default Original.
    Choose the BBCode option once you’ve decided on the above, and then copy/paste it.

    Paul, since PB exploded I've take to using imgBB, very easy to use and simple to embed pics into forums etc.

    Rather than start a new thread, these all seem to have lots of ads (I'd rather not use tapatalk) is there a spam free one, or is it just the price for getting free hosting?

    Thanks.
