Image Hosting

[jhedrick83]

Guys-

As many of you know, Photobucket is now wanting to have everyone pay a substantial sum for 3rd party hosting. Mine was working fine until today. Most of you all have already switched, but just in case. I wanted to stick a thread with a few alternatives that you can use if you haven't switched yet.

Imgur
Flickr (owned by Yahoo, if you already have a yahoo email address, it's easy to sign up)
ImageShack
TinyPic

If you notice awards are missing or you see any other problems with the site, please let us know.

If you all have any other suggestions of sites you use, feel free to add them to the list. Also, :fusmile: photobucket.

Sorry.

Posted something in the wrong thread.

The worst part is that it looks like all of the old threads with useful photos are affected by this. On the way to get them back is either rehost elsewhere, and change the link, or else pay the photo bucket extortion!

I don't mind them charging, but don't like that previously hosted as free photos changed. I guess "we should have known" as nothing's really free

Just in need of clarification when posting pics, as this is the first forum I've been part of:

1. If I delete an attachment to free space, I'm assuming the thread's picture will be deleted as well. Is this correct?

2. Are the above image hosting websites what everyone is using to post pics to circumvent the storage allotment?

Jesse nay be busy with Jesse's girl, some times you take that Chance. If you delete the image to free space then it will break the link in the thread, aka no picture.

I have been using imgur, I know some people use tapatalk and post through there. @Oldsmoky gets WNYTONY to post them for him 😆. are you posting from a pc or a phone/tablet? That may make some options easier than others.

Does that make WNYTONY my hosting service?:)

[WNYTONY]

Yes I upload the image thru Tapatalk and PM it to myself here and then post the link. Works well for the most part but I'm wondering when Tapatalk will say I've used all my free space

Sounds like you are going to start charging me a posting fee? :)

[WNYTONY]

[Old Smokey]

Yep, you get Robert's thumb for every pic posted ! [emoji1787]

At least your service comes with a free prostate examination! Robert loves old man ass. Lmao!

Robert stuck his thumb in my bum and pulled out a plum. What a good boy is he.

Ok, that's sick chit.

Phone posting. Downloaded Tapatalk, but can't find this forum. I'll keep trying.

I use Postimage.org, simple and works well, even on a mobile browser.

[jhedrick83]

That is correct. All you have to do is host the pic somewhere else and when you post, click the "Insert Image" then click from "From URL" paste the URL and uncheck the "retrieve file" box.

penna stogey Thank you, sir. A year without the Orgy is tough.

[chain_gang]

Thanks for the help. Looks like I've got it figured.

FYI to an possible bums who ran into trouble using Tapatalk:

1. Cigarbum wasn't searchable at first once you've downloaded the app.

2. Cigarbum wasn't an option under Hobbies > Cigars, when choosing what to initially follow.

3. Followed an unknown cigar forum. Got to the main screen that has your subscriptions, and from there was able to successfully search for Cigarbum and subscribe.

So what service are you guys using?
Imgur is pissing me off. Photos are huge and when you edit them, it isn't translating to the forum. It's still showing up huge even when I try to scale it down and it says it "saved image" in the Imgur site.

Been having this problem for months now and am tired of constantly resizing and refreshing for 10-15 minutes to post damn pic.
I tried Flickr but it's the least user friendly site I've ever seen. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to post to a forum from it.

Either this is way harder than it should be, or I'm fucking old.

[Cool Breeze]

Figured it out on Flickr, after watching a Youtube tutorial. lol

[WNYTONY]

Crapatalk makes it pretty easy to post photos but it sometimes farts out for a night
