I'm really new to forums and this is my first blade forum. I know how to post text but have no idea how to post a photo that is on my phone that I use for this forum. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Do you use an image hosting site like Imgur?

Welcome, also.

#buffncc1701 · Jul 17, 2021

Thank you for the welcome. I'm afraid I don't use an image hosting site, I don't really know what that is or how I should use one.

You’ll need to choose an image hosting site first. Sign up, they’re usually free, then upload your photos to your account. After that, it’s a matter of copying the link from the site and posting it here. You’ll click on the image icon in the dialog box, and paste your link into it.

That's nice and clear, thank you I will take a look for an image hosting site.

I've signed up to Imagebam but none of the links work. there are three. Direct link - BB code & HTML code. None of them work. It really should be easier than this.

welcome!

I use postimages.org (free).
when you upload a pic it provides a link that you can paste straight into a forum post. Bam! Done.

Welcome, and well done. I was scrolling through, post by post, hoping you'd get it

.

Being able to post pics is pretty awesome. I'm rather computer illiterate, but through trial and error I was able to finally figure it out. I'm still pleasantly surprised every time I try to post a pic and it actually works.

I hope you enjoy the forum.
