Fifer54 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I'm having a problem here. I've been using PostImages.org, but as of today, that seems to have gone belly up, so I went went back to my old photo host at Village.Photos, but the same problem that made me abandon them before is still evident- when I "paste" the image URL into the BM "insert image from URL" box and click "insert into post", nothing happens except the insert image box turns pink. So I have tried Microsoft OneDrive, but there is no "Embed" option in my version, and it's not hiding in the " . . ." menu either. I'll have to try somewhere else before I can start my WIP posts in the Interceptors GB. Maybe I'll give SteveR's site a go . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer54 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I've just signed up to SteveR's HobbyPhotoHosting site, and it's so easy to use! I've had to resize my images before uploading, but my IrfanView photo editing app made short work of that! I can certainly live with the discreet little watermark in the bottom right corner of the images, and I'll definitely carry on using it to host my piccies. Might even sign up for a paid account sometime . . . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that you highlight the https URL. What I do then is to click copy and then paste it directly into my thread. Never had a problem (so far).

I wonder if that will also include Google Blog? Theoretically it shouldn’t be a problem as reducing the photo file to a reasonable size means that there still should be room for 40,000 or 50,000 photos. I think that would last most people a hell of a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bullbasket says, just post the URL directly into your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the most recent update has broken it, and if HPH was set up after the update, it works . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is still presenting my photos - so I'm assuming this is a temp glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 When I use V-P, I don't use the Insert Image URL box. I copy and paste the link directly into the Topic/Reply box. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Test, using Google Blogger as a host, right click image, copy link address, paste it in (ignore the Insert Image From URL box) Seems to work ok, I'm shocked (lol) I had no idea that you can use a Google Blog to host pictures until I read the OP's post, so thx Gorby, I will never use Flickr ever again...

Winnbowman Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I was going to post some of my recent images here but refuse to use hosting sites. The other model sites I go to allow you to upload from your computer. How novel and easy can this be? Time for others to "own up" maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I looked at the list of suggested and non suggested URL's. I have been using Drop Box for sending photo files to other people in the past but do not see them listed. So, is Drop Box suitable to upload pictures to Britmodeller?

Hi Noel, to my knowledge Dropbox links do not embed in a post on BM. I've tested it with a "public dropbox link" to some image I have there and this image was not embedded in the post by BM. There might be another way that I don't know of, maybe someone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
