Attaching pics...?

Post » Tue Aug 13, 2013 1:26 pm

For some reason I can't paste pics, and I have no menu options to attach anything. Anyone know what's up with that?

You can't upload/attach pics to posts on the forums.

You have to upload them elsewhere and link to them. The ability to paste them to the forum was presumably disabled because people were uploading insanely big pics that took ages to load and left you having to scroll ages just to get past them. Same reason images in sigs aren't allowed.

You can only link them.

Didn't know that. All for the better I suppose.

I guess it's also used to stop pormographic pictures from popping up.

Thanks for the info. What's a convenient, low maintenance place to post pics for someone without a Flickr account or whatever?

Imgur is good place. Really easy to post pics from your phone too.

Unfortunetely, my computer doesn't want to paste the link.

Wow, that was an easy, idiot-proof way to post stuff. Thanks for the advice!
