Forum Post Photos Go Missing

igzekyativ · 01-11-2018, 05:22 PM

I've been using facebook image url's for most of my posts. However, now many of those images are missing from my posts. Facebook must have changed the url for these photos.

What service do you upload your photos to? I just want to be sure I use a service that will provide an image url that never changes.

You can attach images straight to your post that are hosted on the forum server. Takes up more storage space for the forum, but it will always be there so that's what I do. Just use the paper clip icon and upload your pictures as an attachment.

Totally agree with BimmerAg

There is nothing so frustrating as finding a thread that can help you, only to find dead pictures(or links). Best thing one can do for our community is to upload your photos directly to the forum.

When making a posting or starting a new thread... use ADVANCE Mode... then click the paper clip icon(or "+") upload your pics... be sure to resize them to no lager than 100 to 400 mb in size... then post your thread. It's really quite easy.
