BFrank Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I used to be able to copy and past photos from my Google Photos web drive into threads here, no problem. But recently it's not working. I paste the photo into the submission box, it looks fine at first, but later converts to a bunch of text-based code for some reason. Anything change? Or any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I've also started getting error messages for album covers I copy over from discogs with the error being that they are too big. Pulling in a photo from an outside web source never gave an error like this before. It used to happen when you tried to upload a file from your own PC, but not from a web source.

JSngry Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Get the image URL. If it's a supported file, that what will work, using the Other Media/Insert Image From URL process. Same as it ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 The image file needs to end with an extension like .jpg or .gif and needs to be copied in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I've scanned a book cover, dropped it into Post Image and get this; [url=https://postimg.cc/jLdZnT6H][img]https://i.postimg.cc/jLdZnT6H/Scan2024-06-22-163953.png[/img][/url]. which doesn't seem to open.

mjzee Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Note that "Other Media" is in the lower right corner of the reply box; it's not in the toolbar above the reply box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you guys. I haven't used PostImage before, but looking at the site, you shouldn't have to manually edit anything. I'm guessing that you were attempting to use the links provided as "Thumbnail for forums" or "Hotlink for forums", both of which contain HTML code that isn't needed here. You want to copy the link provided as "Direct link", and plug that in via the Other Media > Insert Image from URL button here. The Direct Link should be used because it contains the image file extension (like .jpg or .png), which "Link" does not, and a lot of forums won't post a picture properly unless the URL contains an image file extension.

Dub Modal Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I don't have problems with posting linked pics via a laptop here, but for whatever reason that same functionality doesn't exist with cell phones, at least for me. Any ideas why that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Cell phones....for most images on miine, you can right click on "open image", then do the Share thing, and then get the URL out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Ok, trying that via discogs https://www.discogs.com/master/161400-Joe-Gibbs-The-Professionals-African-Dub-All-Mighty-Chapter-Two/image/SW1hZ2U6Mzg3NDA5MDg= So that's what happens, and I'm guessing bc the link doesn't have a png or jpg suffix..? The same thing happens if I try to share a pic from my photo bucket by creating a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 https://www.discogs.com/master/161400-Joe-Gibbs-The-Professionals-African-Dub-All-Mighty-Chapter-Two/image/SW1hZ2U6Mzg3NDA5MDg= That's right But Discogs images should allh have those extensions. Try clicking on the image on the page. That will open up multiple images if there are any. Then open/share each one individually rather than as a group https://i.discogs.com/wQhnw65CLb9uhG24fzhMy9o-bGatnkzKW-1UVee0H_Y/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:320/w:316/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTE0MDQ3/NzQtMTI2OTU2NDI2/NC5qcGVn.jpeg = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
