How To Post Photos - 2024 and Beyond Edition

In defense of those who can’t get things done, hearing other people doing it is REALLY distracting!

You need hotels with thicker walls.

I completely understand a company not wanting to take on that kind of exposure and risk. Some yahoo uploads child porn to their servers, they don’t know about it, and next thing you know they’re getting subpoenas and e-discovery demands from a DA. It’s a stupid risk to take when it’s not something at the core of your business, you don’t have the staff to monitor it, and there are simple alternatives available.

Acting like children isn’t going to change it.

Well said!

Just wondering why the forum is still using an imaging host service? On another forum I'm on, you simply click on the "image" link, open the image from your computer files, and insert it. I readily admit I have no technical knowledge of this stuff. All I know is after two clicks with no copy/paste efforts, the image is in my post.

EDIT - I just saw post #9 in the "Has Something Changed..." thread, which seems to answer this question. Not sure why the two forums handle "copyrights" differently, but my question is answered.

Yeah, It is a drag. I have some nice photos of my new Esteban acoustic and some pics of my vintage Univox.

If you start a thread, I also have models of those guitars to share

Not going to lie - “imgur” is a vile, piece of garbage. Tried. I did. Could NOT be arsed to use it - presented with racist, misogynistic crap instead of even getting to my image. Why?

I am outta here.

Paul Reed Smith forums is stuck in the past.

To post a photo to the PRS Forums, please use an image hosting service. A popular option is Imgur.com. Below are the steps to host a photos on Imgur.com - other photo hosting sites should have a similar process.


1. Go to imgur.com and click “New Post” (or go directly to imgur.com/upload)

2. Drag and drop your image to “Drop Images Here” or “choose photo” and select the file from your computer.

3. Next to Copy Link, click the menu button and click “Get Share Links”

4. Copy the text from the BBCode (Forums) option

5. Paste into a post and you should be good!

What happended to "drag and drop"?

Apparently it has fallen victim to lawyers, guns and money (or maybe just lawyers)! I can't imagine you not being able to find a image hosting site that works with European customers. It does not have be be any of the sites mentioned, just a site that will give you a BB Code or image url that ends in .jpg or .png or .gif, something like that. Here is a link to my tutorials as well as links to all other tutorials I am aware (including this thread we are on here) of on image posting at this site: https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/sharing-pictures-on-prs-forum.47818/

I am glad I only have one PRS (S2). Otherwise, I will be forced to learn how to post pics with Ingur. Lol

Wait. Is this thread for any and all pics including non-guitar pics?

Here is Shelly. The newest baby of the family, loving her kitty couch.

There’s a “Man’s Best Friend” thread.

No one has said that all furry (or non-furry) creatures can’t be included there.

Wait for a saucy reply from either Alan or Howie

 

[Abe]

Oh, ok. I'll hit up that thread with more of my kitties soon. We have 5 in this house. Meow.

 

[DISTORT6]

Sure, ok....

First thing I do is make sure I have two tabs open...one for the forum, the other for my picture-hosting site (in this case Dropbox.com).

In my image-hosting site tab, I find the image I want to post and left-click it to be sure the the image loads in it's full resolution.

Then I right-click the image, and select "Copy Image Address".

I come back to the PRS Forum tab and click the "Insert Image" icon (looks like a little mountain range inside of a picture frame).

The icon box will pop up requesting an "http" address. I right click the address field and select "Paste". The address I just copied from the pic-hosting site should now be in the address field. Then I click "Insert".

Repeat the process for all the images you want to share in the post.

That should do the trick...

Thanks goes to @ElrytNamrogo

Wish it could be easier now. I can’t link to photos from my iPhone browser. Only works normally on full computer browser. I click the tabs and they do nothing.

I saw that Postimages has a forum plugin. I don’t see XenForo listed specifically, but I wonder if they are working on it or would be willing to if there’s interest? The plugin is supposed to show up right in the post editor and stores the images on their servers. So it basically just funnels the process of going to their site, uploading images, copying links, and pasting them into a post, and puts it into the posting editor directly. At least that’s what the brochure says. Would be cool if something like this could work here.

@james Maybe you’ve looked into this already. Just posting in case it’s helpful.

imgur is so gross.

Can we not link Instagram here?

 

[Fringbird]

I was half joking with my comment because I'm sure everyone here knows how I feel about posting pictures here. No disrespect meant. I just think we should be able to upload pics directly from our devices here like 99% of forums.

Exactly. Feels like 2002 here.
