There are 2 ways to add pictures

#1
Upload the picture to The Garage Journal

1 First you need to go to the Advanced section of your post, Just click Go Advanced

then you will see this

3 Click Choose File and navigate to your picture on your computer, then click Upload and it will add it to your post.

#2
The other way is to use a image hosting site to upload the picture to

I use http://imgur.com/

If you go there you can make an account to keep all your pictures
There you can Click upload pictures and it will give you links to put in your post, you will use the BBcode link.

Third way is to create an album in your user cp and link from there. This is best as they don't get lost when your photo bucket, or other account, goes away.

Another way to add pictures is to upload them to a image hosting site like Imgur:

Has anyone ever hosted their photos from Google Photos?

I already have an account with a ton of pictures there, but I haven't ever been able to get the hyperlink method to work.

I have tried google photos and could never get them to work on here. My only luck is with photo bucket or imgur. I used to use image shack til they deleted all my photos cause I didn't want to pay for their service.

Smugmug also is great site for storing photos. You can post photos from it like photobucket. It does have a small fee. I have used it for 15 years and love it.

Re: How do i add pictures?

This is a good place to voice an opinion on posting pics. I personally prefer to have them show up directly in the threads. Not as attachments that I have to click on. The attachments don't seem to work well with my Android phone. Unless I'm doing something wrong. JMHO. Thanks.

is imgur actually working still? it seems to be showing 403 access denied issues on all images I try to view. Though I can access the site directly no problem maybe they have a hot linking issue with Garage Journal?

This is very strange... Imgur doesn't seem to be working as an image source on here anymore.

EDIT: Seems to be GJ related. Just tried linking to an imgur image on my blog and it worked fine.

EDIT EDIT: Definitely something wrong with GJ. Just posted an imgur photo to eevblog forum and it worked fine. Maybe they've banned GJ or something? Is GJ blocking imgur images? Somethings gotta be going on here.

Picture from my Dropbox public folder. Takes up some screen real estate!

It would have to be the forum that has blocked imgur posts, has there been any forum announcement as to why they dont' support imgur anymore?

Imgur is blocking GJ because the Imgur terms of service disallow using their hosting for a website which sells products and GJ has a classifieds section. Something along those lines. I've been using tinypic as a replacement. It will delete your images if they aren't viewed for 30 days though so that's not so good...

I uploaded photos to an Album, but I can't see how to use them when creating a post.

When I click on the Insert Image icon, it wants a URL.


What am I missing? :confused:
