Heard the comment from time to time about not knowing how to post photos since the forum’s storage is full. Watch this video and post any questions below. Here is the linked photo from the video.  I hope this helps. Post other needs and questions. Maybe there can be more how tos in the future. Jordan |

I'm trying to figure what people are having trouble with exactly with posting pictures? I realize every device used might be different.
The main goal is to understand how to grab that picture file off your computer and upload it onto a photo hosting site.
Then place that photo hosting sites address in between on/off switch code [İMG] [/İMG] tags
But Calvin, why can't we just upload a picture to the forum, like Facebook?
Because that takes money to buy space on ProBords and evidently no one will put up the money to have that option on this forum. So thats why we do the free way of having people use a hosting site for pictures.

Step one, open an Imgur account (if you know how to open an eBay account I'm more than confident you can open an Imgur account. Why do you need to open this account? Because this is the 3rd party between you and this forum that will let you show your pictures on this forum for free.
Step 2, hit upload pictures on Imgur
Find your pictures on your camera card you plugged into the computer.
Step 3 after pictures are uploaded find the all important address code
[ímg]https://i.imgur.com/izaQxho.png[/ímg]
Which looks like this
It needs the [ímg] [/ímg] tags or it won't work because you are tell the computer, hey computer I want you to show my picture from this hosting websites address
Turn it ON [ímg]
and turn it OFF [/ímg]
And that's it! If you understand the importance of these tags then congratulations you've done the most basics in computer coding. 🤓

No computer coding skills required, which is just as well 'cuz I ain't got none.  |

I'm trying to figure out what is the main problem for the people that still haven't figured out how to post pictures?
The VERY first concept to understand in posting pictures is understanding where the location of your picture files are when you insert your camera card or USB plug in.
For how everyone seems to be able to email me pictures makes me think that's NOT the issue(?)
If you have a PC (Not Apple) What part of this video don't you understand?

Step one! Sign up for a free IMGUR account. USING your PC/Computer/Desktop/Laptop don't try on your phone, it is a nightmare (If you know how to sign up for ebay, this is easier) We have to use a photo hosting site because we do not want to pay for storage on this forum. What is a photo hosting site?-It's a website that will hold onto the photos you upload, just like what you all do when you upload pictures and email them to me. -After you upload your pictures, you will be given a web address, just like a street address your picture is located at in the internet world. Sign up here, they will ask for your email address and to make a password. There will be a location usually in the top right hand corner that says sign up. imgur.com/This is the VERY first step in getting you started posting on the forum. Am not going to explain anymore until I get some comments saying you understand, you got it done, or you need more help.

You also need to know how to open another tab/page/window. All browsers should have this option.
