Forgive me as I know I'm new here. I thought I'd ask the question. I know there is a pinned post here directing us to photobucket yet that is from 2009 and a paid $5.99/month site to host pictures. Fast forward to July 2020 were sharing pictures and videos is so easy on Facebook. What is the easiest/fastest/FREE way to host and share pictures here?

I'd love to be able to show you guys my past builds and starting a JagdPanther build this weekend I'd like to share with your gents from the start.

thanks

I use the free app, Tapatalk. It’s so easy even I can do it. I just use it to post photos.

There was a discussion here viewtopic.php?f=195&t=23710&p=258248&hi ... os#p258248
with a few options, though TapaTalk seems to be favourite.

Thank you guys ! Seems like Taptalk will work. And it automatically resizes pictures to post to the forum?

I like imgur, and if you need it I have a video showing how it's done.

Lots of members used to use Photobucket, but quit when the charges became untenable. As a result, thousands of essential pics disappeared from archived threads :thumbdown:
You're okay with Tapatalk. Like Gary (Max-U52), I use imgur. It works well, but I also post pics direct from my Mac. It's possible to resize pics in Apple's Preview, and then post them here, so long as the size doesn't exceed 351kb. :thumbup: The same applies with Windows 10, I believe.
I post a mix of shots stored on my mac and Imgur- just in case anything happens to the Imgur site. :think:

Thanks guys! Taptalk seems Like a very easy interface for responding to comments and posting pictures. Makes it Almost feel as if you are interacting with an RCtankwarfare after and not a forum. Sadly does not look as if you can post short videos through this app. Maybe I'll have to upload to YouTube and and share the link from there.
