As a newbie you cannot post pictures until you've made a certain amount of posts !

I find I can post just one photo directly from my phone. But since I use Flickr for my photos anyway I can post as many as I like from there and likely from any other photo hosting site. .

There's no way to upload a pic from our computers into someone else's post? I tried and it showed that I needed an http link. To do that do I have to host images online? I was able to upload images from my computer into my own posts and my profile.

You cannot post pictures here as a new member. You have to have a certain amount of posts under your belt, and or a certain amount of time since you joined has to pass...

@OregonGuy @hollydolly Looks like I can upload images from my computer into my comments on others' posts now. Just posted a Meaningful Meme in A Touch of Wisdom thread.

Where is the "Live Earth Cams" forum? I'm not seeing it anywhere. I'm looking for my "Live Cam" thread.

Ty MarkinPhx. I see. Matrix must have thought I was asking him to change the name of my Thread. I was just asking him to move it to a different Forum if he thought another forum was more appropriate. I need to stop overthinking things and leave well enough alone

Hi there sowhatnow: Good to see a new face on the site.
Old faces make you feel crook, do they?

I use a free website called PostImage to host photos. I've used many websites over the years, and this is the most reliable. It has a size limitation for free accounts but they have Premium accounts as well. The last time I checked it was reasonably priced, but that was ages ago, and since all I use it for is hosting forum images, the free account works for me.
I upload a photo. Once it's finished, I click on the Share link. From the list I copy the Direct Link address for the image as the Thumbnail for forums link adds advertising. Then I go to the forum I want to post the image on and use the Ctrl+P Insert Image BBCode. On this forum I select the By URL option and paste the Direct Link address into the dialog box.
And thar ye have it.

To post photos from any of your computer files, click the photo icon in the toolbar at the top of the conversation box (like the one I'm writing in now). A little box will open that says "Drag Image (or click here)".I use a free website called PostImage to host photos. I've used many websites over the years, and this is the most reliable.

I usually just drag and drop images from my pictures files.

I try never to do that, even if it is allowed. Images add up quickly and somebody has to pay for the file server.
Good point.

I'm glad that I don't have to host images elsewhere (than on my computer) in order to post them here. Lovely pic!
That's for sure. You can post them here and remove them from your computer to save space.

I didn't think of that but good tip! Most of mine I keep because I use them repeatedly.
