MIFFED! - Pix ... URLs ??? Why ???

[Elen Sentier]

OK, this is getting right up my nose! I used to be able to upload pix directly from my computer, now everywhere is asking me for an URL.

I do NOT do pix from URLs. I have no wish to waste my time learning how. I wish to be able to upload from my computer as I can everywhere else on the net.

Please change this back.

Go to the thread or posts you have posted and then go to Edit.
I find I have to juggle the endings so that is there, etc.,

You can't load directly to the site; never have been able to apart from the gallery, the photo needs to be hosted somewhere else and simply linked here.

cheers,

just a test

Well, that uploaded straight from my pc.

It's why I've never posted pictures. Well apart from the time I sent the picture to someone who posted it kindly.

 

[bilmo-p5]

check it out...



...then hit 'upload files'.

 

[Paul_B]

Noticed that after posting. Looks like it has changed since I last tried posting a pic

I've always been able to upload to the site from my computer. Though only images upto a certain size and then it only thumbnails them like Bilmo just showed. It wont let me do it on PM's though, just the main forum. Its why i use photobucket.

I have a memory of being told not to link to an image as it used another person's bandwidth. Is this OK now?

 

[boatman]

Just seen that photobucket seems to permit linking so it must depend on the attitude of the website hosting the original picture.

Nope. Nothing like that coming up.

Well, that uploaded straight from my pc.

that's what I used to do ... is it all something to do with the latest troubles with the forum/host or whatever?

You can but, if memory serves, it's one of the benefits you get for paying a subscription to the forum.



Attachment created straight from my computer (As per Bilmo-p5's instructions) ...




And from an online host ...

 

[copper_head]

Direct upload (from computer) still working for me, as described by Bilmo... ​

 

[Elen Sentier]

Oh well ... seems like there's differences of opinion on it! I used to be able to click on the pic-link and upload directly.
And now it seems I can again ... just did with this goat.

What is going on? it seems there's all sorts of niggles going on under the surface, with the programming. Good luck with fixing

 

[Tony]

The picture stuff is nothing to do with any of the template niggles going on at the moment, Fm's can upload pictures and have always been able to.

 

[Elen Sentier]

It's come back now Tony, so all's well. Thanks for letting me know . Good luck with the "niggles"

I vaguely remember a limit that could be hit - as in one could only upload xxx number of pictures - once the limit was hit then to upload more some of the previous pics had to be deleted. Unfortunately I can't remember if that was on this site or some other VBulletin site.
