mbrun Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 If you are using the web browser, try selecting your photo in your file system, then click copy (Ctrl+C in Windows), then try paste (Ctrl+V) in your new post to see it that works. In my case, I use the TapaTalk app via my iPad. A button exists in the app for inserting it directly. MichaelWRHS965KE8PLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you reply to the thread you should have the toolbar with a bunch of buttons above composition window. You can use circled button to link to images on Internet and this way they will display directly in your post. See attached image 001. Here is an example: And you should see buttons below you composition windows that you can use to attach files to your post.

Tried from flickr I get error can't use that image extentionfiles are jpeg You are SOL regarding linking image from Flickr. They use some JavaScript programming to hide URL of actual image. What you can do is download that image from Flickr, sign up with free image hosting site, upload image there, get URL, and then embed that image into your post here. I use that site: https://postimages.org Here is image from my storage from that site: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayoverthere Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Photobucket is pretty bad now as well. As of late, I tend to use imgur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4gix Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I suggest using ShareX as it is a free utility that will allow for clipping anything on your screen, and saving it locally in it's own folder/sub-folder, plus uploading automatically to the cloud and finally putting a url into your clipboard for instant pasting into a forum post or email... It can also create an animated GIF, and even record a video for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
