Posting Photos *IMGUR*

Well it's bitter sweet that I'm not the only one.

I don't care really....id rather have to post pics through imgur on my pc then mess with Poop Bucket one more moment...

My workaround for this android issue is simple but seemingly unnecessary work: I just email the image to myself and pick it off the email on my laptop.

Cool. Easy peasy!

Yellowstone in January.

Nice pic John!
Reminds me of some Michigan ridges I hunted.
Gotta love it!

Easy enough with PC, but still having trouble figuring out the I phone.

Still practicing using Imgur...

One of my favorite trail cam pics...

This is so much easier to use than the other method.

Lets try this and see if I can post a picture from IMGUR.

Easy enough on my PC, next is to try from my iphone and if I can figure that out I will be set.

Lets try from iphone now.

Hmm more experimenting required here to get the picture instead of just a link.

you just needed to add the image syntax code, and remove the "s" from "https" and make it "http" ...

Code Select

Lets try iphone from the mobile app now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE FROM ADMIN - please do not post images from secure servers. you can tell that a link is secure because it will begin with "https" and not "http" ... just remove the "s" and leave it as "http" and it will post fine.

not this ...

Code Select

Wow...that deer grew up in a hurry!

apparently you're gonna need to adjust settings a bit when you post from your phon

8upbowhunter · July 11, 2017, 09:03:00 AM

That worked but the pic is huge, let me see if I can figure out what Rob is telling me.

8upbowhunter · July 11, 2017, 09:09:00 AM

Thanks Rob, I think I have it figured out now. Not as easy as copying and pasting a BBCode like on a PC but much better than the other site.

July 11, 2017, 09:09:00 AM

Great!
I learned something too...

Rob DiStefano · July 11, 2017, 09:16:00 AM

you got it, ken!

we are working on a new house for trad gang. it has been an ordeal that has spanned nearly a decade, but we've finally got a better shot of accomplishing this now. not foolproof, extremely difficult, but necessary. the new house will allow uploading of images direct from yer computer or phone or tablet or whatever. at this point, we're in the infancy of new forum software migration testing modes. it'll be at least a few months before an actual live conversion will take place. thank you for your continued patience.

8upbowhunter · July 11, 2017, 09:50:00 AM

I have been following along waiting on the upgrade. I rarely posted images before because I mostly operate from my phone and posting images with Photobucket from a PC was difficult because I had to first upload them from phone to PC then post to the forum. Their mobile app was almost impossible. Thanks for everything and looking forward to the upgrade.
