I wish there was a way to upload pictures directly into your post from your phone. It would be so much easier than going through another website (which can be tricky on a handheld), and you'd never have to worry about the picture going defunct when the hosting website goes away. They would just be here, in the post, forever.

There is an attachment system on this forum to do just that, but I disabled for reasons. The main one being that we have limited capacity.

How can capacity be increased? It seems strange that there's 'not enough space' on the internet in 2017.

Storage space isn't free.

I'd be willing to make a donation because of how many hours of my life that would save me.

It's good to know there would be support out there if it I ever need it.

Capacity (space and CPU usage) was one reason, but there are others. Security issues and technical issues. Anyway, I'll consider it. Maybe I'll activate attachments some time for a test run, for a week or two, to see how it goes and determine whether it is feasible with my current hosting arrangement (which, as you'll all know from the semi-regular downtime, isn't great).

I'm so glad there are people that know both dinosaurs and computers. Tech stuff is just so beyond me.

It may be an idea to make spoilers work Dr Admin :)
So if someone has a lot of pics but using soilers, the read can choose to view the screenshots or not.

I don't know if your forum supports the spoilers code, it's mostly used in this form:
Code Select
[spoiler] here all the urls to all the images [/spoiler]

Anything needing URLs would be useless for uploading pics from your library.

That's an entirely different topic.

Actually, spoiler code is the different topic. It should go in the suggestion thread here: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=8.0

If a picture is taken down off of Photobucket does it also disappear from the forum too?

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

Yeah, the only place it really exists is on Photobucket's servers; the forum calls that server to display it. Once deleted, it would be calling a nonexistent address.

I intend to remove all mentions of Photobucket from the 'how to post images' instructions; I can no longer recommend such a terrible service.

Perhaps we could collectively generate a top five?

I use Deviantart, I understand it isn't Deviantarts intended purpose but it has no limits on image size or number.
