Capt Keith Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I had planned to post a build. It appears there is no direct way to attach them. Help or a link to instruction would be appreciated. I do not use Facebook or Instagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackroadkill Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 There are 25 pages on this subject in the above link. The short answer is you'll need to get an account with a picture hosting service if you want to post pictures. I have a Flickr free account and it serves very well.

Black Knight Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The only other way is to have your own website with a current security certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treker_ed Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Or use One Drive that come with Windows 10 (if using that). That can also be used as a hosting service - All the pictures I've posted recently are using MS One Drive. (I believe that there are instructions in the link explaining how to use one drive as a hosting service) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Keith Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Appreciated. The RCTANKWARFARE supports direct uploads. This is the first site I've used in years that required hosting. It simply makes it more difficult when covering a blow by blow build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands of us have managed to do it, of all ages and technical abilities. So, just read up on it, get beyond the "what others do", find a hosting site and join it. Then start showing us your work in progress. Simples. Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not technology challenged. I just find it adds extra work that no other site I utilize requires. I appreciate the response. I did post my Sherman VC in the Inspection portion of the forum.

Julien Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Direct images allow malware attacks. I know of one modelling site that was offline for a long time because of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a couple of other forums that I am or have been a member of, all require a hosting site. Some of the forums that had their own hosting or allowed hot links have either gone under, being unable to afford the cost or were screwed over by malware. Everywhere else uses off-site hosting. It is what it is! Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I have indeed joined a hosting site, Hobby Photo Host, and it works fine provided you click on 'Direct.' Then copy and paste OR Insert image from URL. Not being a smart phone user but a camera man, I have found that setting it's 'quality' to 'S' (for small) helps things along as nobody on these sites wants pixel heavy pictures!

Look in the FAQ's and you will find "an idiot's guide to using Village Photos". Even I can follow that. Oh, 'ang on, I wrote it! John. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Looks like it, when I copy & paste the address of your image, it is a postimg address & your photo shows up. Result? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Trouble with links is people won't bother clicking on it to just get redirected somewhere else. I know I don't, if the person can't be bothered to set up a hosting site that allows me to see the pictures straight away, why should I bother to click and get redirected and wait for images to appear But then I am getting grumpy in my old age 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
