Posting images on Singletrack forum using Postimage

If you're on Windows, there's now a Postimage App that makes it even easier.

So before I forget this, when posting from Flickr:

Use the desktop site

click the share button (curved arrow)

choose BBCode

choose size of image (large 728 x1048 seems ok)

copy the address

post only the part of the address that starts https and ends jpg into the image link box

Relax

post only the part of the address that starts https and ends jpg

TBH, that's the crux for all sites aside from the ones that go out of their way to prevent hotlinking.

I think with Flickr, it's all that you say except, you just paste the whole bbcode into the forum text box and that's it.
Don't put it in img tags. Just paste it all, hit Submit, and it works.

Edit- yup, that works as above. Just make sure your image is set to public.

Is that a sticker on that scratch joelowden?

Could you also do a tutorial on how to do the quote box? Probably very easy and shows how much of a luddite I am (have tried before but never works), can easily follow your guide lines though.

Quotes are easy, just select the text you want to use, copy it, then tap the ❝ button at the top of the text box and paste the selected text after the cursor.

Then tap the return key a couple of times to get the cursor across to the edge of the box and continue typing.

Quotes are easy, just select the text you want to use, copy it, then tap the ❝ button at the top of the text box and paste the selected text after the cursor.

If you're not using the 'fancy editor' you won't see the " button. You'll have one that says B-Quote instead.

I just did it by pasting the text I wanted to quote into the reply box, highliting it and clicking the B-Quote button. I prefer the fancy editor though.

You can just type [ quote ] ... [ /quote ] (only without the spaces) around text you want to quote also.

Highlight the text that you want to quote and copy it.

Click into the reply box

Tap B-Quote button

Paste your text after the quote bracket thing that appears.
Then tap the B-Quote button above again.

When you hit Submit, the text you pasted will be in a quote box.

Highlight the text that you want to quote and copy it.

EDIT: Thank you @cougar

Did you do the exact steps?
You should get the highlighted text as in the photo below before and after whatever text you paste into the box.

*Click B-Quote once
*Paste your text after it
*Click B-Quote again
That's it!

iOS users can get this REALLY handy shortcut which literally does everything for you. Select photo from phone, click share, select "Upload to Imgur" and it does the rest then copies the link to your clipboard so you can paste it here. It takes seconds!

Yeah, tried it that way kayak, on my phone it does not show the block quote , just advances the typing space a bit (if that makes sense). Was the way I was trying before but thought it was something I was doing wrong, seems it just doesn't like it on my phone, don't know why

Strangely I get an empty url
With Hotlink for forums option)
img src="http://" alt="" /
Removed the < >

And this is the Postimage listed ”direct link”

(Spotted http and https in the forum created link, so removed one)

So that works well (using the forums “IMG” tool.

Yeah, just tap 'Direct Link' which is usually the 2nd option down.

Tap 'IMG' in the Singletrack reply box menu, and paste that link into the box and hit submit.

Lauren has changed a bit.

I haven't tried this before. Is this going to work, I wonder?

Yes it did.

Yes it did.

A "Thumbs Up" if there was an emoji.  It's a miracle!   Anyway, thanks for this.

Ooh, mine worked but I'm not sure how I did it!
