Flickr apps are rubbish. Photobucket are w@nkers. Imgbb.com is the new king!

Alburglar · 28-10-17, 07:34 AM

We all know that forums are rubbish without pictures.
I was struggling to find an image hosting site that was user friendly via my iPhone and would let me copy bbcodes to embed photos onto the forum. Flickr was useless via IOS and android app on my Wife's huawei phone. However imgbb.com website works a treat on both!
Once you've uploaded pics, you can organise them into albums like Photobucket/ Flickr but crucially, in album / thumbnail view, you can tick a box on an image. Go to 'actions' and 'get embed codes' then use drop down box to select bbcode. If viewing an individual photo you click on 'about' and the embed codes pop up and bbcode can be selected. ��

Righty ho... Will go look at them later. Like you, the lack of photos in forums is just bad imo... let's hope this could be the answer.

Thanks.

I'd say that's a bloody good find.

https://imgbb.com/

I've signed up, uploaded a photo, posted, and started rattling on about it, all in about 5 minutes.

Sign up is easy.
Upload is very quick
And to add an image as I did above, just select the image, go to the embed codes tab, tap on code, copy, then paste into a thread.

Glad to be of service. It was driving me nuts!

Hanuman · 28-10-17, 09:00 AM

Ah, well. Being nuts it's a prerequisite of staying sane on this forum, so you'll fit right in.

A good find.

How very true this statement is !

DGSdale · 07-11-17, 02:07 PM

Ahhh! please help me! Using imgbb, I'm clicking copy on the BBCode so that the link turns yellow but still can't load the picture into my post. what is the procedure after clicking on copy? Please bear in mind I'm a numpty where this sort of thing is concerned!

This is how I do it on iPad.

Then, Paste in your new post window.
(ctrl-V, right-click & paste, etc)

It should be variations around that theme.

DGSdale · 07-11-17, 03:31 PM

Thanks very much for your help. That is exactly what I was doing but when I right click to paste, the paste is greyed out so it won't allow me to paste.
