AndyRoo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The one I am using right now is: http://imgup.net - just a simple Facebook log in, or you can sign up as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ok I've tried that Andyroo, but I can't share the images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've saved my pictures on many sites but to get them on this forum is so complicated and frustrating that I can't be bothered anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ok I've tried that Andyroo, but I can't share the images Where are you trying to share them? On a board like this? Or somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyRoo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Okay, so upload your images, and then click on the 'show all' button. Once you seem a gallery with the images you have uploaded, hover the cursor over that particular image, and a pop-up will open with a list of icons for various sites like Facebook and Twitter. Just beneath those, there is a bit of text that says 'More links'. Click on that and a drop-down will open with a list of options. Click in to the Forum Code option and CTRL+C (or CMD+C if on a Mac). Then paste the code where you want it to appear in your forum post. The downside to that site is it only lets you post a link to a thumbnail which users then have to click on to expand! If you want it to be a full size image, you could try using: http://imgur.com - although I find that can be a pain in the bum in the same way in which Photobucket can, albeit faster to load! Hope that helps! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyRoo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Oh, that's weird, I can do it on my iPhone, I just have to do that annoying thing where you have to select the text with your fingers and then copy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorbloodnock Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Can someone please suggest an alternative to photobucket, it's just driving me mad. It's so slow, it's always crashing . I wish I could just upload photos straight from my device Is that for a large collection of snaps or a smaller number of shots you're really proud of? In other words, is it bulk storage or a showcase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I don't use the photobucket app. The website normally does okay for me on my ipad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 I only use it to post on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think what chickabee is saying and it's the same for me is that it's just sharing on this particular forum that is the problem. It's pretty easy to store/save/share on almost everything else but it's quite a rigmarole to post pictures on here and get everything right including the size. I used to use three different websites to get a picture on here. Now I don't bother. I don't like photobucket anyway. I'm not comfortable using it for some reason.

Valkyrie Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Photobucket now seems to have so many adverts opening up - I reckon that's the reason why it crashes so much when trying to load up. Managed to do a couple of mine last night but I don't really use it much apart from trying to load photos onto forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
