POSTING PICTURES FROM YOUR COMPUTER

Rixster,

    You mean to tell me my IE/Yahoo will no longer post pictures on OGR?  What kind of garbage is this any way, my photo bucket works great on every other forum.

Rich please come back and tell me what is going on here.

Pine Creek....I never said you could not post pictures on the Forum using Internet Explorer.  I only said I started having issues with it (outside of the Forum) to the point it was freezing or crashing too frequently, so I switched to Google Chrome, which I am quite happy with.  Our work computers use Internet Explorer 9 and I have not had any issues with it.  But I switched to Chrome as my browser on my home computer for the reasons cited above.  I will try to post a picture using Internet Explorer and see if it works.

Update...here is a picture attached from my computer using IE 11.  Worked just fine.

I work in the IT field. (owner of a Managed service Provider) but as a owner doesn't mean I don't do the work I still do. I'm a one man show per say. google chrome Firefox IE. I personally don't like chrome Firefox haven't used it. all of my client run IE in the past year there has been more issues with IE but those seem to be working themselves out in the last few updates. the only thing you ever had to do in IE was possibly add a site to the compatability settings. I also run a easy list on it to block adds. the only browser I use is IE. and haven't been able to not view something everything works just fine. One site I use to go on said to install chrome or it wouldn't work that was stamps.com and I added it to the compatibility setting and it worked fine. I even run this forum in compatibility mode and it works fine. about 2 months ago I couldn't upload photo's from my phone but that seems to be better now. being in IT and hearing so many places push you to use chrome is scary. a few years ago google released a software package called google desktop and they got in trouble for indexing just like they do to a web page personal computers. chrome still has the desktop feature. it doesn't go on any machine I work with. do they still do it I don't know but I'm not risking it.

my 2 cents worth.

this site works great for me with win8.1 and IE 11

Nothing has changed here...and as you can see above, I fixed your post and the image appears there now.

I think you used an incorrect link for that image. You were using a link that was for the entire PAGE that the image was on, not just the image itself.

In fact, here it is again...

Rich,

   Thanks much, however I have been copying and posting pictures in the same manner for many years, 1st time I have ever had a problem, I have been trying to copy & paste only one picture for some time now, something must have changed on the photo bucket sight also.

Thanks for the help Rich.   Now I get the individual picture to post in the manner below, that needs to be clicked on to be able to see it. (bummer)

If you have been doing it the same way and now it is not working, Photobucket changed something.

When I click the link on your page to get the URL for the PHOTO, I get code which ends in ".html" which is a link to a PAGE, not a photo.

Why do you bother to mess around with Photobucket when you can upload pictures here right from your computer?

Rich & TR Gary,

   You were both correct and I finally figured out how to bring the individual picture over from Photo Bucket they have added another step for copying the indvidual picture now, just more steps to accomplish the same work.

Thanks for everything!

Rich the reason I use Photo bucket for bringing the photos over to OGR is that I can store them on Photo Bucket and then erase them from my SD Card and they will remain on the OGR.

I'm not sure why you don't load the images directly up to OGR, it's very easy, and there's no issue of them disappearing when something changes on the external photo site.

What am I missing?  I simply click on "+ Add Attachments", go to "My Pictures", click on photo desired. Done.

If something can be screwed up or overlooked I do that quite well. 

Posting photos on OGR, no problem here. tt

Tom, that's what I recommend.  It's easy, and the pictures never disappear as changes happen on the external site.

It works for me....

If I want to post a photo that I've stored on Photobucket, I find it easiest to select the photo, click "download" which puts the photo on my desktop, then click "add attachments" etc.

That way the photo will be stored permanently on the forum and not be dependent on Photobucket.

Jim

IMO Jim, that's the best way.  If you ever reorganize your Photobucket stuff, it doesn't disappear from the forum.

Maybe you could change your list of 6 easy clicks by preceding it with DOWNLOAD FIREFOX!

I have posted three replies with photos today on the Real Trains Forum - Midweek Photos.

The picture shows up on the first but not on the other two. The pictures show up in the edit function WYSIWYG and icons show up if I edit the replies, but the pictures do not show up in the post, just the captions.

What is wrong?

Thank you.

Works for me.

Jerry

The first post worked fine. The picture shows up. I did the other two posts the same way (copy and paste the picture files) except they each have two photos. Is it not possible to put more than one photo in the same post?

Let's try...

Yep!

Jerry

If you got an error message did you do anything about it? Evidently your image file was too large for upload.

Jerry that size file should work. Were they a format other than jpg?

Not sure about the cut and past thing. You should click the add attachment button and navigate to the file and post it from there
