Since imgur has changed up their interface (for the worse), I thought I would do another write up on how to post images to this forum using a very simple website called Postimage.org. If you are like me and most of your pictures are on your phone, do yourself a favor and download the TapaTalk app and login to this forum on the app. It makes posting pictures very simple. However, posting from a computer can be quite confusing, for some. The first thing you need to do is go to Postimage.org and create an account. Once you create an account and log in, you will click on the Upload link in the top left corner of the page. You will then have the option to resize your image (if it is very large), then click on the Choose Images button to select the image(s) you want to upload. Once the upload completes, you will be taken to this screen which has a series of links. You will click on the "Copy link" button to the right of the "Hotlink for forums:" option. You can then "paste" that link into the reply box or thread creation box of this forum. If everything worked, the link you posted will magically turn into an image in your post.

That’s the site I’ve used since photo bucket started charging. Fairly easy to use.

I just looked at the Tap talk app and it asked for a form of payment if I ever purchase anything, you choices are VERIZON billing,CREDIT CARD or PAY PAL, is this normal.

arlowe13: thank you for starting this topic, I have for several years now been wanting to learn how to post my own photos from my phone but never did until today. Because of this conversation I am now set up on TAP TALK. Technology can be very scary for older folks but now that I am on board I will post photos often, THANK YOU. For all you other old geezers learn how it wasn't hard.
