Good news for picture posting!

Our moderator for the Technology Corner forum, 1492, has done all of us a great big favor. He developed an app that can be used to post pictures here on the forum which greatly simplifies the task.

All you need do to post pictures now is click on the picture posting app located at this link (I suggest you bookmark it for the time being), drag your picture into the box or click the "Select" button to find it on your computer, and then copy/paste the resulting URL into your post. The picture will be automatically re-sized to the forum limits of 640x480 if it is larger than that and will show up in your post.

Once again, the steps to post a picture into your post are:
1. Drag your picture from your computer into the box (or click on the "select" button to find it on your computer or other source).

2. Copy the resulting URL and then paste it directly into your post. Do not make any additions or subtractions to the URL.

There is no need to worry about re-sizing the picture anymore and/or getting the wrong result. Just copy/paste the URL from the app into your post without doing anything to it.

There is also no need for a 3rd party hosting site like Photobucket. The app takes care of it all for you! ๐Ÿ™‚

Hope you enjoy this and we owe 1492 a beer or two if/when any of us meet him in our travels!

Normally we don't allow test posts in the general forums but I am going to start a new thread on this forum called "Picture Posting Test Thread" where you can try this out if you wish.

In advanced post select the "link" icon (looks like a chain and the world).

Then edit the post and see how it wraps the link address. I can't put the exact syntax here because it turns into a clicky.

Folks,
If you want to try out this new picture posting process, please do so in the Picture Posting Test thread and not in this thread. This thread will be reserved for comments only. Thanks.

It was working and now it's not. It will not load up anything to copy and paste. It did work a couple days ago like it used to.

I guess my bookmarked link quit working. I tried Barney's link and all is well again!

I just tried dragging and dropping a web based image and it refuses to yield a thumbnail & URL. So it looks like I need to download the image save it then use this web app to upload it to imgur then I'm good to go.

This works great. I have a couple of other ways to put photos online, but this is much easier and faster.

Thanks, 1492.

Well done -- thanks, 1492! This will mean that many more folks can (and will) post photos, which will make the whole site more useful to everyone. This is a big deal -- a huge improvement.
