Photo services help
« on: November 16, 2017, 12:51:42 PM »
I must be a total dummy. Since the Photobucket fiasco, I have been trying to find a photo site that is easy to use so I can continue selling my stuff here. I have a Filckr account but I cannot figure out how to get the images onto the website. I know it has something to do with the sharing function but no matter what I do, I cannot find any html coding. Imager is also confusing to me. Sorry that I don't have a computer chip for a brain but does anyone have any hints? I really need to unload this stuff!

Actually, Facebook deteriorates the picture's quality greatly. I'd suggest you to host your photographs on imgur, or DeviantArt or HostingPics. Search for a picture hosting website. Photobucket isn't the only one. ^^
In order to put a pic here, do a right click on you pic => "copy image adress" (something like that), then, make a reply / modification, use the "Insert Image" function (1st case on the 2nd raw, right under the B ) and do a CTRL+V (or right click => paste).
Maybe put it in spoilers if there are too many pictures on the topic. Add [spoiler*] and [/spoiler] between your "[img*] pictureaddress[*/img], without the *, of course.

lets see if I can talk you through flickr.  click on the 'You' tab in the upper left corner and select photo stream.

You will see an icon with the picture of a cloud and up arrow in the right hand corner.  Click.

That will bring you to a screen that allows you to add your pictures.  Be sure to click on the blue tab in the right hand corner that says 'Upload photos' after you have had a chance to rename your photos if choosing to do so

To share your photos from your photo stream or album, both which is also under the "you" tab, there is an arrow on the bottom right hand corner that angles off to the right.  Click it

That brings you to your BB code.  You can choose the size you wish and then copy.

when copying to page such as here, you can delete everything outside of the pair of 'img' in  brackets

I just tried doing the above and can not get my photo to post.  Interesting.

I just use a sideblog on Tumblr. The links to the images seem to be alive after a blog's deletio, and it's pretty good with keeping the original size/resolution of the image, it just resizes on your dashboard.

Why dont more people use Imgur? I've used it for AGES for hosting graphics and art for Neopets, and decided to keep using it for mlp. You can make your gallery private and everything, and its free and easy to use for me.

I second this... I've had no issues with imgur as long as everything's set to private.  :)
