Hi, since Photobucket stopped free forum photo posts can anyone recommend an alternative? I had some great camo photos on links from this forum but they are now gone.
Want to post photos here but don't know where to start.
Ta, Dava.

Facebook? Not for me, dealing with people in person is bad enough!
Make the effort on this forum!

You can always upload photos direct to the forum. If you use the full editor, there is an option "Upload Attachment" to be found below the editing box. The only drawback is than there is a maximum size of, I think, 350Kb. I use this method and shrink my photos using ImageBatch.

I use IMGUR.com which seems to work fine for me - no charges and so far no limits.

I upload directly from My iMac using Apple's 'Photos.' I use the 'Preview' app for adjusting pic dimensions, or pixel counts if necessary.
Windows 10 offers similar tools. Just create a folder somewhere on your Mac or PC solely for RCTW photos, and upload from that.

I know this is not a popular choice, but I actually use the upload attachment function. Its easy to do, but you have to resize your photo to less than 350kb.
When you compose a message, you will notice that there is an Upload attachment tab and pick that you will see the option to choose the photo files.

I find that it's the easiest and safest way to do it too. It's nice not being beholden to a third party, unlike this Photobucket debacle.

So now Flickr has imposed limits after being taken over by another company.
They limit 1000 pictures and have revoked the free 1Tb that they had previously. For me this is simple, i am removing my account and using someone else. They can go get stuffed if they think i paying them monthly.
So maybe now i will get more into imgur instead, unless there is another good alternative?

Doesn't help the storage issue but just for posting images here Tapatalk I've found to be by far the best way
