posting pictures

Gentlemen I am unable to post pictures. I have them on a photo service sight called snap fish click and past the url for the photo into the post and still no luck.
I tried search a solution but came up with nothing. Any help?

I went to their site. It doesn't look like they do image hosting, just make printed products from your photos.

Try https://postimages.org/. It's really easy and simple to use. You don't even need an account, if you don't want one. However, you can set up an account if you want to keep track of your images.

SIGforum and many others use BBCode, so photo links have to be encased in [IMG] brackets to appear. You can manually type them or use the technique posted above. Both work.

If you go with postimage, use 'direct' link.

Was there a really cool diagram posted of the process? I've been looking and don't see it.

There was, but the one most often used is (ironically) hosted by Photobucket, so now is unusable due to the blurring and giant watermark.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

V-tail's method works for most of those hosting sites, but it is against Flickr's rules to do it that way. Someone else has posted the proper way to do it with Flickr (which is actually simpler). Here is a link to the proper Flickr procedure: https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...920069724#7920069724

It's not my method, yo. Please give credit to the guy who took the trouble to put that flow chart together, that was GaryBF.

I just re-posted his excellent work.
