Just tried it and it seems to be down on my end, too.

 Thanks for letting me know! So I hope the homepage is just currently under construction.

I use it, too. Hopefully it´s just a short disturbance.

Has anyone been having issues using imgur lately? Haven't been able to upload images for a few days.

Has anyone else been having trouble with today Postimages? Whenever I open it, I get that page that shows a paper with a sad face, and when I click reload, nothing change
Edit:it works again, for now...

I'm not sure if people know this, but it's possible to show what code looks like by hitting the pound/hash symbol and typing inside the tags. It shows the code without executing it, which lets you give instructions that someone can just copy and paste.

For example:

Code Select Expand

Hello,
I am new to this forum and forums in general.  How can I insert a jpg?

I see the insert button, but that just adds "[img][/img.]"  How do I upload the pic?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!


The short answer is, you must upload your pics elsewhere, such as flickr.com or postimages.org.  Then you copy the image url and paste it between the img tags.

Got it.  Thanks!

can someone recommend a good free image hosting service for 2021......i'm in North America if that makes a difference.

[Stegotyranno420]

Postimages. You can also use reddit as a image hoster too. Want an example of both?

[Halichoeres]

Flickr is free for light use, up to 1,000 images.

[andrewsaurus rex]

thanks to both of you for the suggestions   




HA!   Adrian, I DID IT!...lol

I went with Postimage......didn't even have to sign up, super duper easy (once I figured out which of the 10 links they provide to use, heh).

Anyone know how long they will support the link before removing it?

[Stegotyranno420]

i believe if you select no expiration date then it stays for ever

[andrewsaurus rex]

wow that's amazing.  So how does Photobucket stay in business??

[Stegotyranno420]

 A @andrewsaurus i have no idea about the photo hosters.
If you want to share a postimage photo to someone individually or through a link, it will bomabrd them with advertisements(i tried that in class and my teacher did not see it coming), use Reddit(i know reddit may have a bad stereotype, but as long as you interact with the right people, you will be fine).
1. Post the image you want in any sub reddit(on a computer preferably)
2.Go to your post
3.Click the picture, do not copy address or open it in a new tab(it will decrease the quality), just click it.
4.once it takes you to a new page with the picture, copy the address of the recently opened tab
5.Share it and remember to [ img] [/img ] the link
here's the example

I use this Site since years https://imgbb.com/ without an account and it always works fine, fast and easy.

[andrewsaurus rex]

imgbb works great too......maybe i'll use it instead given the spam issues with Postimage.     

Stegotyranno420 thanks for the info......I think i'll use imgbb for now as it's easy for my pea brain to understand, unless you are aware of issues with it?  I like your art btw. 

thanks again for the help everyone.
