phpBB help
It's been a bazillion gazillion years since I've used a phpBB forum.
I need help posting photos and gifs. What photo storage site do y'all use? I used photobucket ages ago, but I need a free site.
Recommendations?

Re: phpBB help
On here, it took me a while to learn how to post an image. If you find an image you want to post, right-click on the image; click on copy image location; here, click on the little box on the top of the posting box between the "snow flake" and the "chain." Paste the image. I always preview first because some images don't seem to post, but most do.
I hope this helps. There could be others here who could explain it better.
I had previously used Photobucket, so I know what you mean.

Re: phpBB help
I'm now trying to figure out how to post pics on a mobile device. I tried uploading as an attachment, but image files are too big. I tried creating a link for pics, but that didn't work.

Re: phpBB help
Yeah the maximum file size for attachments is 256 KB. I think it was bigger for images before. There are different programs that let you shrink images if you look around the internet. You can also upload it to a place that lets you store them online and link to a jpeg version. Imgur is one of those. To get a jpg link you have to sign up and select the direct link when you upload the image. Then you can use the image tool here.

I'm on iPhone and I use an app called Image Size. I'm not really tied to it though, and there are any number of them that will work.

Re: phpBB help
And I will get to that as soon as I can. Also, I think I have to add that you can upload PDFs.Reality Check wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 4:34 pm Yeah the maximum file size for attachments is 256 KB. I think it was bigger for images before.

Re: phpBB help
Ok, I still can't figure this out on Android.
I've made the image under 256 kb.
I've opened an imgur acct but can't figure out how to make the image link a jpeg.
I'd share a screenshot, but ....
All I wanna do is share pics of Hodor, the guinea pig and Kyo, the Siamese kitteh!
