How to post a photo/image

Options
As it says on the tin....How do I post a photo/image?

I can never get it to work

Please Keep It Simple....I ain't very poota literate :o

I have loads of photos on my desktop/groups on FB but I can never get them to show on here, and I don't know why.

When I copy and paste the link I remove one http cos the MSE box puts one in for you............then.........I get a little box but no image :(

:D

    You need to upload the images to something like photobucket then link to the image on there

    Oh, I thought as long as the photo/image was already in cyber space (which FB and my desk Top are) then you could just copy and paste the url

  • I think you need to load it upto a host site like photobucket then on your post theres an insert image option where you put the url (it will show you the url when you upload to photobucket) bit of a faff though
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    So why is MSE different more difficult than any other group I am a member of?

    I normally take a photo upload to my desk top go to the doggy forums I am a member of on FB click post photo choose the one I want and click post.....Simples!!

    The url on my images is https but on MSE the beginning url is http does that make a difference?

    Chrissie/B*C/Bella/Mrs Bot do you all upload your images to such as Photobucket?

    The forum does not store any photographs (apart from the tiny sig image) so they have to be linked from a hosting site such as photobucket/youtube etc or images on active webpages.

    Using photobucket, picturetrail or similar hosting sites is the recommended method, but if the image is on a server that is public and always on (ie. 24/7) and you can find the image URL (ends .jpg or .png) then you just need to add [IMG][/img] at the beginning and at the end.

    example https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RyTFYBTVam8/maxresdefault.jpg

    doing this to the above image gives wee Nikki Krankie:
