Posting pictures of collection

[CollectorFanatic]

Soo im kinda dumb with this sort of thing but what is the easiest way to post pictures on here? Like how do some just pop up and why do some just link you you to another site. What do most people use to easily get each picture on here. I would love to show off my collection but as you all know, you just cant upload your pics on to a thread. Please help

i'm in the same boat as you about posting pics..i just wanted to let you know, I clicked on your youtube link and really enjoyed watching your collection video.:D

I think most people use Photobucket. Flickr is another good one. Get an account at a website like that and upload there.

Use IMG tags to post a picture directly in the thread. Use URL tags to link to them instead.

I use imgur.com because it is quick and easy.

Thats what im asking. Which one allows me to upload pics here easily and intutively with the img tags?

testing ulload of imagehttps://www.flickr.com/gp/130364602@N08/J0qK5e

Okay well that didnt work and im using flickr. I copied the url and input but its not actually showing the image.

[CollectorFanatic]

Bah this is frustrating

[Iwatasan]

Right, you got the link to it there. Go to that page and click on the arrow pointing to the right, next to the star. That's the Share button. Click on BBCode. Copy/paste here.

Also it looks like maybe sharing is restricted with that photo, you might need to change your account settings.

Fo i have to have privacy set to everyone and not have it private?

For any photo you want to post directly to a thread, yeah, it has to be public so that you can Share it.

You can link to private photos if you prefer.

http:// https://flic.kr/p/qJGtwrDo i need to be on a computer to do this? the only thing i can remotely do is "copy url" on flickr. Theres no grab bob code or star you were talking about.

[Iwatasan]

Ah, yep. I mean, you can probably do it on the flickr app or whatever you're using but I've only used the website via computer so that's the only way I can tell you how to do it. :shrug:

[CollectorFanatic]

https://flic.kr/p/qJGtwrYea the app has nothing like you stated besides a "copy url" but that doesnt seem to work when i put it in one these thread comments. Quite dumb if you ask me since everyone and their mother is on mobile and not so much on a labtop/desktop.

YEESSSS!!!!! Got that son of a bitch. tho.....its a huge pain in the ass on mobile

[Iwatasan]

Nice, how'd you do it?

[CollectorFanatic]

Desktop version but on my phone. Its a pain in the ass because everything you click refers you back to the mobile version that doesnt have the bob code. And even when you get the onto the bob screen, they project the box on the image so if you you move the screen or anything, the box dissapears. Even when you do manage, after fiddeling with it, youre only real option is to copy the entire url text. Then when you paste it on here you have to manually delete all the other text that shouldnt be there. Like i said, it was a huge pain in the ass. Ill just take pics with my phone and upload them with my labtop....itll just be easier that way. im excited to finally show off my entire collection tho

Cool. :thumb: Mobile is handy for certain things but forums are always easier on a computer in my opinion. No auto correct so it doesn't change BBcode to bob code for example. :haha: Easier to select and highlight text accurately, move cursor around in a text field etc. And post images of course. :D

Always excited to see new members' collections!

I have over 70 pics to upload....this might take a while
