How do you guys get pictures to show up in your posts as opposed to supplying a link to an external source? I often see pictures instead of a link.... Thanks

I upload my pictures to postimage.org. After they're uploaded it gives you a number of options as well as a direct link to them. I highlight and copy that link then paste it directly into my message. It appears as a photo instead of the link.

Any link that ends in a photo extension (.jpg for example) is supposed to automatically embed in the post. Some sites (Flickr included) don’t give you such a link, and you have to get the link in BBCode to get it to work. Adds an extra step and, unfortunately for mobile app users, it requires a third party app.

Here's how. 1. Hang your pic at an image hosting site. Photobucket sucks because it puts a watermark on it. Imgur works. I prefer IMGBB because there's no registration or account required: www.imgbb.com/upload2. In IMGBB, click on 'browse from your computer' link in the center of the screen. 3. Navigate to the image on your local machine and double click it. 4. Click the green 'Upload' button. 5. "Upload complete" will be displayed. Double click the little image. It opens to full size. 6. Right click *on the image*. Left click on 'Copy Image Location'. Open a New Message in MT2; you can now paste the URL into an MT2 message here, using the Insert Image button. Click that button, and then right-click in the pop-up box to paste the image URL there. This one:

Cool beans, thanks for the step by step Peegoo. I hated Flickr.
Dumb question; if I now delete the image from imgbb, will it also wipe it out here?

Yes, because it is hosted over there, not over here. Great picture, btw!

Thanks, taken this past October at a local Halloween park thingy. I thought it looked cooler in B&W.

Some sites (Flickr included) don’t give you such a link, and you have to get the link in BBCode to get it to work. I've been using Flickr for all mine. Just bring the image up on Flickr ... click on the share icon ... select (copy) BBcode ... paste it in the text area here at Moe's 2.0. Boom, here I am. DSC_1758 by Larry Madsen, on Flickr

This does work as long as you aren’t using the Flickr app. The BBCode is available on the Flickr website, but not the app. I should have made that distinction.

What I don't care for with posting flickr pics is if I click on the pic here, it takes me to their site where I can view all the pics the poster has public.

That's like a free tour into their inner sanctum. Could reveal some interesting information. Hey, if it's public, what the heck. I hope you weren't click'n and pick'n on that one year old up there. I was a lot better looking back then.

Oh I don't mind browsing through everyone else's pics, it's just that I rather have the option to post a pic that's static and not navigate to MY albums.

I also had some weird solicitations from Flickr or an entity that posed as such. It felt kinda of an, um, intimate community type thing, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Could be because I associate with known underpants models, I dunno.

Guilty, I submit everyone who signs up here to those kind of sites!
In my defense, I thought a swingers site would give me baseball tips.

Hmmm, suddenly the imgbb method doesn't seem to be working for me. When I past the link into the insert image panel nothing appears.

Are you sure you are getting the right link? BBCode full works, I just did it a little while ago. There are some link formats that IMGBB provides that are not compatible...

I've previously (and successfully) used what appears to be the default (viewer links). Copy/paste done. It appear the only way that works for me is to copy/paste the "BBCode Full Linked" from the embedded code drop down at imgbb to the BBCode tab here. Previously I followed Peegoo's instructions up above with no issues. Maybe it's something on my side.
