I was unaware of Hobby Photohost until I read the replies on here, so thanks for the info guys.

 

I trust it will work on other forums that need photos downloaded from host sites. Or is it purely dedicated to this one?

I believe it will work with most sites. It gives me 4 options for sharing a photo:

Britmodeller, All Scale Trek, BBCode (IMG), and Direct.

 

I only use Britmodeller so I'm not sure what the other three options are but I am guessing All Scale Trek is another forum and the last two are generic formats. You can also crop and rotate photos in HobbyPhotoHost before sharing.

Hi @Noel Smith, it will indeed support any community, any forum and any website. And if you have issues at all, let me know and I'll look in to it :)  As mentioned by Kiseca, there are a default options for sharing that work on all websites, and a number of  dedicated share options/buttons, like the one for Britmodeller. The dedicated options provide you with the extra convenience of one-click sharing, and once signed in you can customise which dedicated share buttons are presented to you when you upload your photos, from a longer list of communities. If you need support for a site that's not already there, I'll add it! Just let me know either via PM or via a HobbyPhotoHost support ticket :)

Best

I have tried Google photos, which said it should be possible. 

A lot of people have had problems with Google Photos. You need to use a proper photo hosting site, such as imgur, which is the one that I use. It's fairly simple to use.

@Wilfster Click on the photo that you have selected. Then when the choices come up on the RHS, click on "Copy" in the Direct Link box. Next, on BM, right click and then click on paste. A link will appear, followed by the photo.

HTH.

Thankyou. Do the photos have to be made public?

Hi,

 

I host my images on my Google blog - https://timhalesblog1.blogspot.com/ 

 

Usually I simply right click on the image and enter the link into the image prompt or another forum uses  insert URL [/img] unfortunately I cannot fathom how to upload the URL of the image of this forum. 

 

Could I ask for some advice, please

 

Tim
