How the heck do you post a photo

Anyone have a quick tutorial on how I can post pictures?

You have two options, upload an image from your device. It must meet size requirements.

Or use a photo hosting site, I use Flickr.

Click the image icon and past the URL from the image into the field



Your image url should read like this img]https://................................ .jpg[/img

The IMG needs to be enclosed in []

Simple

You make a good point. Tapatalk automatically resizes any image to meet forum size requirements.

And I do not like Tapatalk and have never been able to get it to work, so I use my Flickr account

OP - There’s 2 options for you. No right or wrong.

You can use a link, use a pic hosting site, or a third party website. If it’s the re-sizing of pictures that trips you up, there are free apps to help you with that also. If that’s still too much for you, then there’s not much hope sorry to say.

Or, if you’d prefer wel fill the site with pop ups and adverts on every page/thread you click, we could then perhaps open the floodgates to unlimited size pics that result in the need to scroll down the page, or view sideways to fit the viewing on your page?!
Alternatively, one could pony up 10’s of thousands for a room size data bank to facilitate such a mammoth energy vortex to contain unlimited bites…

Personally, I feel it works well as is, and no trouble to post a picture.

I can post pics here Rob but the sites size limitations make it the more difficult due to the additional steps required hence my original post ;)

Cannot understand why its very simple to do,but today most want everything done for them instead of using a bit of there own brain. Plenty of free picture hosting sites like imgur just sign up for a free account,then upload image from your device,then click on your uploaded picture, box on right of screen will come [BBCode message boards & forums click copy] then paste the link in your post its not rocket science.

A $30 pledge towards the cost of running the Forum would help?

TRF does not receive advertising $$$’s from anyone and data is a cost.

Same with me. I'm frequently using image codes over the internet for personal and business purposes but I need time to figure out how to use them on this platform.
