Tom_K Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I used to use photobucket but it's become really bloated and slow lately. What do you guys use to embed pictures into threads these days? I've got my project thread I want to update but the thought of continuing to use Photobucket makes me want to give up lol 1 Quote
coldel Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Been quite a few debates on the forum on this lately, general consensus is to use Imgur although apparently the app is not all that great. 1 Quote
Stutopia Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Imgur is quite clean on desktop, though it's been down a number of times I tried to use it recently. 1 Quote
Tom_K Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 Interesting that you mention imgur. I looked this up last night and tried Google photos; that doesn't give jpeg links so the images aren't embedded. Then I tried imgur and it seemed more like an Instagram type deal? Quote

It wants to be a social media platform, hence the apps being a bit annoying and asking you to "share" and "write something" and "publish" but you can still use it in the photobucket style to embed images. I'm too old to be fannying around with new social media attempts, I've only just learnt MySpace and Friends Reunited You've reminded me I meant to do a how to for imgur on here. Quote

Strudul Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Don't forgot to include the meme generator in your tutorial... Quote
Strudul Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Last time I checked, you could find someones FB account via an img url linked to their account. Just a heads up. Also I always find that FB / PB etc (non-imgur) links always end up broken after a while from the owner removing them etc. At which point threads (especially tutorial ones) are ruined. Quote
Stutopia Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Don't forgot to include the meme generator in your tutorial... That sort of thing will get you a warning point!!! Quote
ChrisB Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Don't forgot to include the meme generator in your tutorial... That sort of thing will get you a warning point!!! Just had a browse.. ..some of those memes.. ..then again, some of those memes 1 Quote
ZMANALEX Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Photobucket works well with me, fast and with no issues. Quote
Strudul Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) PB is fine, until someone links their images wrong and it directs to an html page rather than the image and I have to deal with the PB site itself. The page loads, but then before I can do anything I'm greeted with this BS: And everything takes 3 clicks before actually doing what I asked because it's too slow and gets itself confused. If I try click the zoom + button for example, it will start loading the new page / image, but then because it hadn't fully finished loading the previous page, it will cancel loading the new page and revert back to fully loading the first page. It's probably fine for those of you with a 3 APM and your 1-finger typing , but isn't suitable for fast use. Edited March 28, 2017 by Strudul Quote

G1en Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Trying to start my build thread. Thought i best do it on laptop as only ever used phone for posts but it wont let me post the picss. I have done everything correct embedded via photobucket, all showing fine on the screen but whenni go to post it says, You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community Any ideas people. Just spent 2 hrs typing and downloading pics? Quote
Ekona Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Post the code you're using for PB. Sounds like you're not using the right link/tags. Quote
G1en Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Its the direct link Starts http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums............ I have added them via the image button on toolbar as per guide, its put the pictures on the screen in the post and i can see them but when i preview post or try to post it comes up with thr warning and it just displays the filename/web address above They are all jpegs i think Quote
G1en Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z376/g1en23/Mobile%20Uploads/2062F1B2-7EE1-41C3-BF18-78E40D99BBD9_zps2bruintc.jpg That is one of the direct links in full above Quote
Ekona Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Yup, you don't want that, you want the link for forums. It's the one that starts . On the RHS of that pic, click the last one that says 'IMG', then paste that link. Quote
