Help,

I don't have a website. How do I add pictures to a post or a reply? Is an HTML address required?

3rd party linkages only

Register at Imgur...its free and you can make your pictures private or public.

I do use image hosting sites at the moment it is Imgur. Though I feel that just to put a image with a post it is rather a time wasting exercise. I must admit that I do like to pass on knowledge with how to do it posts, But somehow it all starts to become rather a chore. Well you have to take the photographs download them to your computer then upload the photographs to your image hosting site then download the photographs to your posting. It all takes time not to mention the writing of your post, it is a different world when it comes to social media like Facebook to name just one your photographs can be uploaded directly from your computer. I am only saying this because I have completed my final how to do it post a sort of a Swann song you could say, about how to go about re-fitting the inside of a traditional wood and leather guncase to suit another gun. I completed the work some time ago and the photographs are on the memory card, at the moment I feel I could not be bothered going to the trouble of doing the post with photographs because of the long winded hoop jumping it requires. this feeling is only a temporary glitch and I will do it when the "black dog" disappears and follows some other person.

I took your advice and uploaded my gun pictures to tinypic-no problem. I then tried to move the pictures from my tinypic file to my post and can't figure how. I hit the edit key on my post,then hit the add pictures key. A screen came up asking for a web address{http}. I then input the file name established with tinypic.com. A long file name appeared on my post but no picture. can you help?

It is a rather PITA to have to use a hosting site, most forums these days realize that memory has gotten so cheap that they host their own photos. This also insures they will never become "lost" or "hijacked" like the Photobucket fiasco.

I tried tinypic.com and imgur, without registering, and found this one to be quite a bit faster and easier:

https://postimages.org/



I just timed myself, and it took less than 15 seconds to open the page to postimages, upload this photo of a D.M. Lefever crossbolt buttplate, and attach it to this reply.
