andygo Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Prolly being a bit thick (please don't say "As usual", but how do I upload a photo here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Best route is to use Imgur, or similar, and then get a Forum link from the image once uploaded there and paste it into your post. The posting file size permitted on here is miniscule, I guess so the server doesn't get overloaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yeah, tiny image size on here. On Pistonheads for example you can just drag a file to upload and it does it all for you. I was looking at Imgur actually, but thought there may have been an in house solution. Thanks for the answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveEFI Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 IIRC, it costs a lot of money to host a site that allows large files like a pic, rather than just text. If you use a hosting service like imgBB and so on, the pic isn't uploaded to this site - your computer just makes it look like it is.

andygo Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Well I have opened an imgur account, generated a code for message boards and forums and got this: [img]https://i.imgur.com/XJtXlMC.jpg[/img] Thats not right is it! Tried it on PH and it worked a treat. https://imgur.com/XJtXlMC [img]https://i.imgur.com/XJtXlMC.jpg[/img] Edited July 22, 2021 by andygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001pt Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 On your edit you've missed off the .jpg Paste the whole lot starting with https and ending with .jpg in to a new post & the picture will come up straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveEFI Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) This forum seems to be different from all the others as regards adding pics? Edited July 23, 2021 by DaveEFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on another forum (for watches, not cars) and the method for posting pics is exactly the same, but for some reason lots of people can't seem to grasp it. I use Flickr for mine, and all you need to do is open a pic from your folders and copy the URL, then paste it into the body of your text on here. It's really not difficult when you get the hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) we like to be different, otherwise everyone would be driving a 911 if you use Flickr, there is no editing of the url, just slap it straight in here and bingo with a lemon on top!

That doesn't work here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was part of the thicko club early on, as have many. There's a couple of pinned threads to back that statement up 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
