Photo posting question

[Mason Jarr]

Kelley,
Can findmall accept off-site photo hosting images? I'm talking about bringing in links from places like Photobucket or Flickr. I usually share my images on three different photo sites I visit and the size restrictions are unique to each one. I'm trying to simplify the process, so if I can upload the images to Flickr and then link them on here, that would really save a lot of time for me.

Ooops I just saw this addressed to Kelley but if I'm not out of line I could give you my 2 cents worth. What I've been doing is uploading to a site called ephoto bay and then I copy "hotlinks for forums" and paste it directly into the message box and it works nice. I imagine you can do the same with other hosting sites.

Thanks, Dave. I addressed it to Kelly because he's the moderator, but any answer will work. I'll try a sample and see how it works from Flickr.

Great. It does work. What a time saver for me. Thanks, Dave!

That's how I do all of mine. I've never posted a picture directly to a forum server. I keep all of them on my
own web server, and link to them. If the forum has a photo linking button, which this one does, I use it.
If not, I just add the image code to the URL myself.
That works on most forums that don't have image buttons. I used to do videos the same way, but since I
went to larger file HD videos, I've been putting them all on u-toob, and using forum video buttons, or pasting
the URL.
