Alright peeps, so I kinda wanna be able to upload photos. But we have reached our limit. Maybe we should delete old useless photos? Who's in agreement?

just use imgur.com far as I know those always exist and it's always cool to come back to old forum post and see old pictures

I've been using Imgur myself, best free image hosting out there.

I eliminated a huge number of old old photos (from the impressions marketplace threads) but that didn't seem to help.

I think people have largely adapted to the image hosting option, seems like the tradeoffs of not being able to see old pics isn't worth it, at least in my estimation. Plus we will just hit the limit again, and probably pretty soon.

I find photobucket to be easier. Upload a photo, to the right of the photo is a section called "share links" with a bunch of links under it. Click on the link next to "IMG" and it should automatically copy it. Just paste the link into your reply and the image should appear. Hope this helps.

Its pretty simple, haha. After making the account and signing in all that, just use "Upload Photos" up top, and then you use the URL Imgur gives the picture to post it wherever. The URL will be specific for each picture, will never change, and will always link back. Example! Here is a link to a picture I uploaded: imgur.com/lhf1s3HNow, using that same URL, you can go two ways to get the URL for the image at this point. You can just add ".jpg" to the end of the above URL, or you can right click the image and hit "copy image URL" (which will add the URL to your computer's clipboard), or "open image in new tab" and use the URL there. Then you just use this board's insert image feature, and just copy the URL into the insert image box and boom.

you don't need an account to use imgur and photobucket does go away I know for sure

I was trying to upload it via the app-which doesn't work. That's why I was having trouble. Thanks guys!
