Edit- Hope the following helps.
.

Ok we will use the following image upload site as an example

http://postimg.org

1. Click browse and locate the image you want to use. Select it and hit open, or ok if it's listed. Select family safe and then upload button on the site.

2. Once it has uploaded scroll down a bit and click on the "copy to clipboard" button beside the link listed as "direct link"

3. Come back here, and click on the image button in the reply form. A box will pop up. Simply right click in the form and select paste. Then hit ok.

Once you have hit ok the image is now in the reply and ready for you to post.

Hope this isn't confusing

Hey Joe, would you like me to upload them and just provide you with the links?

You're not alone Joe: I don't post pics because I can't figure it out. I joined Dropbox and Photobucket. Can't make it work. There's another forum I like because it's so simple to include a picture.

Try the method I posted above in here with a photo.

Thanks Browning. I'll try again.

So, what did you get the warning point for?

Something silly

salsalady · Sep 8, 2014

For those who are having trouble, do you have an account on photobucket or flickr or similar?

If you have an account there, do you know how to upload pictures to that site?

Essegi · Sep 9, 2014

Well, i suppose here's the place to speak about that:

Btw Browning posted a very clear explanation imho.

I like minus.com though sometimes it has problems.

if you have google account you can use them as well. just click upload photos and drag and drop all the files from your computer into the box. Once they are uploaded click the image and right click copy image url and paste into here.

https://plus.google.com/photos/yourphotos

kentishman · Sep 9, 2014

Well Juanitos, I gave your suggestion a try, with no success as usual. I clicked upload photos, I dragged the pictures, but I couldn't drop them into the box. Got the little "You can't do this" icon, a circle with a diagonal bar. Failed again!

edit: But wait, there's more! I clicked Open on the picture, and it went into Google.

i can see im not alone here in this

well i guess im not gonna post my pics and i really hate bothering others for help everytime i wanna post pics

why cant this site just do what some of the others do and have an auto program that you can just take them right from your computer and post them istead of going through a photo site?

sad shame too i also have some vacation pics i wanna show everyone of my vacation/fishing trip where i caught 3 huge YELLOW CHANNEL CATFISH on friday night at Lake Wallenpaupack PA

i wish there was a simpler way but i have been waiting for this on here since i joined and still have not seen any change to a easier way
not everyone including myself is a computer geek, so what about it why not??

thanks your friend Joe

ajijoe · Sep 10, 2014

thanks all i got the help i needed

i will not be following this thread anymore

thanks your friend Joe

if you take pics with andriod phone and download the google photos app, it will automatically upload the pictures(when you're on wifi). then you just copy paste the link onto here.
that's what i do so i don't have to do any dragging / dropping, plug in camera/sd to computer that gets old.

anyways, sorry about the bump to dead topic lol

Ditto to all above & Amen !

Forget all other photo storing sites.

WWW.imgur.com is where it's at

this is true and it's what I use. Figured it would be easier to teach every one using a simpler site though
