Posting Picture Question

Vanity | 3/24/09 | dddac12

[dddac12]

I have a photo that I would like to post. If I understand it correctly, I need to upload the photo somewhere so it can be retrieved by FR. My question is where do people upload photos to? Hopefully, I'm on the right path.

[AirForceMom]

I use photobucket. Its free

[RegulatorCountry]

There are several. Photobucket.com is pretty easy, the necessary html code for posting is right beneath whichever photo of yours you want to post from your archive.

[al baby]

Is it a picture of Walter Brennan naked ?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I use http://imageshack.org

it’s easy and provides the code needed..you just have to copy and paste to the thread..

I love photobucket...!

[TexasCajun]

Posting pictures on a free or pay(more space) site mentioned is a great way to share photos with friends and family.

You just provide them the link & password and they have your latest pics.

Not to mention a great backup for your pics.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I never have this problem.

Photobucket is generally very good and easy to use. However, it has recently engaged in political censorship. For example, they won't let you post anything related to Nazis anymore (including pics of historical rallies, the swastika flag, etc.).

I had posted those images for irony, to compare with the current Obamamania, but apparently the censors are either machines, or have no understanding of political satire.

BTW, I'll try doing the same thing with COMMUNIST propaganda symbols, and I'm anxious to see if the Photobucket censors are equally as eager to delete those...

[murron]

I like Photobucket as well.

The link left out a quotation mark... you only need to put
< img src=URL >
but don't put spaces before or after the arrows. Hope this helps..

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

oh, I didn’t know about that. I understand your reasoning for using them for that purpose...but I guess there is no way for them to know. Do you allow your pictures to be publicly viewed at random? If I recall correctly, when I set up my account, I selected keep mine private....if yours is public, someone could have complained. If you change it to private, and reuse one of the pics, it’d be interesting if they censor it.

[rfp1234]

This is only a TEST. I am curious to see if Photobucket tries to delete these pro-Stalin and Soviet flag images.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

LOL I am waiting with baited breath to know if yours are private or public... the public ones are available for anyone to go check out..at random on photobucket’s website.

If they are private, maybe you won’t have a problem. If they are public, I bet if you change to private, it won’t be a problem...but I’m just GUESSING.

;-)

[rfp1234]

Ok, I’ll try that. Nearly all of my pics on that account are public. I have a funny feeling that MediaMatters or MoveOn are the complainers; it would not be surprising. I’m still curious to see if anyone complains about Stalin, though...

[mamelukesabre]

I don't see a pic in my preview. Here it goes anyway.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

I posted my private pic above. I thought it was just a matter of whether you want other photobucket users or visitors to search and see your pics. I didn’t know you could choose whether one pic or another is private or public. I thought the entire acct had to be either or. When I get time, I’ll have to go see what the acct mgr stuff says.

It’s funny though...we’ll have to check in tomorrow and see if they’re still there.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

the code you used was

< img src="http://s566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/LoomisLoftis/?action=view&current=guesswho.jpg" / >

It should have been :)

< img src="http://s566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/LoomisLoftis/?action=view&current=guesswho.jpg" >

with no forward slash at the end...you can also leave the quotation marks off.

[mamelukesabre]

Interesting. Thanks.

[Scythian]

Anybody remember that animated gif/jpeg with the guy poking at the red x image not found icon, that would have been the perfect reply but I couldn’t find it, darn, a good freeper post gone to waste ...

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

now that I’m comparing your url with mine...there is a difference..

Mine is
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd104/emRpics4fun/xallgave1.jpg

yours is
http://s566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/LoomisLoftis/?action=view&current=guesswho.jpg

notices yours says action=view&current= ?

I don’t know what that means ..
try this

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

You’re welcome..

[OpeEdMunkey]

This is only a TEST. I am curious to see if Photobucket tries to delete these pro-Stalin and Soviet flag images.

Weren't those taken at last year's DNC?

[Arrowhead1952]

First day on FR and already asking where to post a picture? Say hello to the n00bie.

[dddac12]

Not really. LONNNNNNNNNNNNG time lurker. First time motivated enough to post. Found a funny pic that I thought all would enjoy. Thanks all for the advice. I am super busy at the moment so the pic may not get up as quick as I would like. I will try to find the time soon. Again, thanks to all.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

If you are so busy, why did you make me waste my time with all the good advice I gave you?

[cynwoody]

Photobucket is generally very good and easy to use. However, it has recently engaged in political censorship. For example, they won't let you post anything related to Nazis anymore (including pics of historical rallies, the swastika flag, etc.).

When did that start? Did they refuse to let you post the pictures, or did they take them down sometime after you posted them, possibly in response to some libtard's complaint?

I've got a couple of photos hosted there, one titled Nazi Women and one Nazi Crowd, along with an Obama Crowd pic and an Obama Women pic (they look shockingly similar, except for color vs black and white).

I also have one of Augusto Pinochet, sitting, in sunglasses and uniform and backed by his generals, titled simply Gus.

[cynwoody]

Yet another place to host images is Google. If you have a Google account, you can create a googlepages.com site and upload images to it. Just click My Account, and Page Creator. E.g., when the Iranians took those British sailors hostage, I posted a map showing the location of the capture:

So many fun stuff for newbies to play with.... ;)

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

I want to see the red X pic!

[Conspiracy Guy]

see post 21

[Grizzled Bear]

LONNNNNNNNNNNNG time lurker. First time motivated enough to post. Found a funny pic that I thought all would enjoy.

Have you submitted your picture for the Admin Moderator's review? We've had a rash of posters posting pictures they claimed were funny which were not funny at all; they were actually only slightly amusing.

You should include a self address, stamped envelope if you want the Admin Moderator to return your picture after review.

If the Admin Moderator approves your picture you may post it to your monitor, but make sure you tape it facing your screen so the rest of us may see it too.

I hope this helps.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

Ok I thought someone actually had an animated red X. Like you... LoL ok I'm disappointed, but I'll get over it. ;-)

The red X is my state flag.

They started fairly recently, about 6 months ago. I posted the pics and they lasted about 24 hours, then they were gone and replaced by these tags:

Every picture has a "comments" section under it, and I presume the comments would include why it was taken down, or any complaints about it. However, the deleted pics had no comments.

[rfp1234]

Reposted Pic (note "John Kerry" as 2nd guard from the right - LOL). Someone also noted that the guy in white shirt and shorts, sitting in the middle, looks like some comedian named MacDonald.
