Hi, I have some pictures which I have taken previously and not posted anywhere. Is it the forum preference that I should use IGBB and post a link or can I post pictures to the newbies forum ( once moderated ) ? I'd rather just post direct than have added faff but if someone could advise please.
The reason we want folks to use separate file-sharing hosts is that if everyone posted their photos/images directly on the posts as attachments, eventually it would cause the website host to restrict the resource usage (technically, we use a shared server as opposed to a dedicated server as the former is cheaper for me).
IGBB is good; however, I've recently have been using this one:
pimpandhost.com
If you created an account (free and you can use your free gmail or hotmail email) pimpandhost.com allows you to create an album. Simply, you start loading photos or GIFs from your computer - each must be less than 5 MB. You can load dozens, then click just one icon, use the BB code and copy all photo links for embedding in your post with one click.
