Can anyone recommend a good online resource to upload photos for discussion on this site?
No NSA/CIA please, but not necessarily super-secure either.
Thanks.
I use the inspect element.
Sounds like a pain in the @$$. Posting to FB is easy. Why is it not here?
Bump for later consideration...
I use this: https://imgbb.com/upload
Once you upload the image you can either copy the html for the thumbnail or full size image. Copy the code, not the link code and then paste in your comment and wala, you’ve got a pic in your post.
FR seems easy to me but then maybe I’m not aware of
all the processes thru out the world. Type or copy
and paste isn’t that hard.
??? Whut???
FR has a do not post list which you are
not supposed to post the image url on FR.
As a scoundrel who commonly uses pics from other people's sites I learned to add the 'alt=' to every one - because that picture remains dependent on the original website for generation. Too often I run across an old post where I didn't add a descriptive label and see the broken pic icon; making me wonder what the picture was.
The 'alt=' short description remains even if the pic's original domain was wiped out, so whatever point one was trying to make with the picture isn't lost as time moves on.
Example:
I might have 'borrowed' a humorous depiction of James Carville. But if the people in control of the image's source take it down I still have:
ReptilianCarville
instead of the
originally posted. It's a consolation prize that insures your efforts weren't wasted due to someone else's actions.
But the RIGHT thing to do is to post pictures from your own computer doubling as a server OR using a service as the posters described above.
