I checked with the mods first before posting to get permission and they and Vertical Scope gave the A-OK (thank you!).

I am offering free photo hosting to the members here (well to anyone actually) for their outdoor, hunting or fishing related pictures. Its a completely free, no frills service. It is absolutely fine to link pictures wherever you need, here in UWN posts or elsewhere.

Tell photobucket to go pound sand

I setup some basic "Topics" for pictures to be uploaded into, if we need more granularity let me know and I will add more. A personal album should be created when users first sign up... I've yet to test that though. This is new'ish software to me, in my testing its been very easy to use so far, so it suites my purposes.

So use it if you need it ... if not no big deal. I know people are annoyed by PhotoBuckets new stupid policy and just wanted to give them a free option.

Thanks for offering us this service. I dumped photo bucket a couple weeks ago.

Care to give a quick tutorial on how it works?

 

[DallanC]

First Register or Login

Next click upload picture (its in the lower left)

Choose the album that best fits the image

Now browse to the image you want to upload, or alternatively drag and drop the image onto the white box. The Software allows uploading multiple images at once, I find that feature very useful.

Finally upload the pictures.

To use the image on a different website such as UWN, simply browse to the image you wish to share, click the Share Icon at the upper right:

Now you are presented with different options, such as thumbnail, full image, image with links etc. Just select the link's text, copy and paste it in your UWN or other forum message.

Ok people were having trouble getting the right link to share here on UWN, I found a modification to the software that exposes links to the user that he can just copy and paste here / elsewhere.

I updated the tutorial above adding in the 2 final steps.

Thanks a bunch.

Dallan, that's awesome of you! I will be taking advantage of this in order to post to the forums, etc. Thanks so much!

I'm not seeing the share icon you speak of?

 

[DallanC]

I'll check on it. I'm also trying to setup video hosting ala like Youtube. Youtube is crapping on their users currently and it seems alot of content creators are going to patreon (a pay to view site).

Should be fixed now. Was a goofy permissions setting.

Does this work if you just have a phone?

 

[DallanC]

Sure.

Critter just pinged me with a similar request. I manually deleted his while I look into how users delete stuff (I didnt test that feature prior to letting people know about this hence my needing to research it).

If you need me to delete something now while I research this just lemme know what you want deleted. Otherwise I'll get it figured out and post "how to delete" stuff.

Ok I added a way to delete a picture from your album. Click on the image and you should see this on the right side menu:

Thanks. I put a picture in there that was bigger than I like to use on the forum.

Just curious. Why doesn't UWN just allow us to upload photos directly from our computers? This screen shot is from another site I visit. We just click on the camera icon and upload directly.
No Photoshop hassles

Just go to the photo gallery and upload your photos.

Or just click on the paperclip icon and upload them directly from you phone or computer. But then they just show up as thumbnails.

 

[wyogoob]

I upload from my computer. It puts up a thumbnail pic at the bottom of your post that you have to click on to in order to open it up, in order to make bigger.

[wyogoob]

easy

1) Go to "Advanced" view.

2) Scroll down to the "Attach Files" box, then click "Manage Attachments"

3) Then "Upload File from Computer"

4) Click "Browse" and then click on a picture from your computer or cell phone.

The picture, or pictures, will be automatically loaded to your post.

I prefer the full size pics, like from Photobucket, inserted into my posts to match the story line or in my case, the recipe.
