Hoss Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I wish we could post direct. I've tried the photo bucket route, no joy. I can post pictures direct to Facebook, craigslist, emails etc, why not direct to this forum? I've heard it takes up too much bandwidth....whatever that is..... but I don't really know. Seems like if we can send a man to the moon we ought to be able to fix this. If its a question of $$$$, I bet most of us would pony up a few bucks a year to pay for the privilege. What say you SASS?

Not such a big deal except it made me wonder what other photos of mine were floating around out there. I deleted my account and that was the end of that. I can't post photos here so I don't.

Yul Lose Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I used to be able to post photos using Photobucket on the wire but not any more. I've even loaded a new PB app and it didn't help. Being able to load directly without a PB or other sharing service would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat--- You'll notice when you go to a Pards pic of gun etc. many times if you continue to click on the arrow for the next picture, it scrolls thru every one he/she has in photo bucket.

Griff Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Plainly said, y'all just don't have yer 'puters set up correctly. I, myself, don't know how to do this... my son does it all for me. But, PhotoBucket seems to work, only one thingie pops up occasionally to ask it I need to order prints (their internal ad), I can't seem to avoid, and I have to turn off something called "Ghostery" when I go to Hodgdon's reloading data site so I can two-way communicate with their site.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I first post a photo on Facebook, then here. Easy peasy. Right click on the FB photo. From the pop-up menu, select Properties. Copy the address. In the text box here, click the square Image Properties icon. Paste the address there. I do not know why we cannot post directly from our PCs. That question has been asked many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That question has been asked many times. Not all FaceBook photos are equal, some can be shared and some cannot. I think part of it is who owns it. And I have seen it where folks with a FaceBook account can see the pics and those that don't can't. The reason we can't upload directly is that the site administrator and/or developer has not set it up and/or enabled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The odd thing to me is that we can upload our avitar picture directly from our PC. but not our regular posting pix. A photo site is wonderful I guess, but you have to leave the picture there indefinitely for it to continue on the post---so I've been told. Seems like a big pain to post it to the web just to get on another web site. Hoss--Let us know how you make out with Misty. I asked James to fix the issue when he updated the server, but I guess he didn't or wasn't allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana Greg Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thank you all for the responses. It does seem to be more difficult than it should be. I am looking to find out what Misty has to say. I believe, we all have pictures to post. BTW, my picture is of an Iver Johnson pocket pistol, I had cut down to a 2 inch barrel, snubbie. I think you would like it. Montana Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 If anybody has actual knowledge on how this could be made to happen, maybe let Misty know. I for one do not have enough computer skills to suggest a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) If anybody has actual knowledge on how this could be made to happen, maybe let Misty know. I for one do not have enough computer skills to suggest a fix. The developer that worked on the recent issues should know how to do it; I think his name was James. I run one now and have been administrator over several forums and tweaked code for several different kinds of forum software. Most of the time it is a matter of turning it on and letting the code know where to upload the images/attachments in tandem with granting permissions to the users. I know it's possible with the IP Board software we run here because I am a member of another forum that uses the exact same software; they allow you to attach up to 10 items(.jpg, .png, .pdf, etc...) to a post and insert them into the post.

Cat Brules Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 "What say I," you ask? I sez, it sounds like a false flag survey designed to study the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a SASS photo hosting service, with the membership paying more than the cost of the service via another increase in annual dues. But then, I question just about everything. :-) ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I've been a member of another forum for many years that maintains its own photo library. The forum won't alow pictures from an outside photo service. The reason the forum owner went to this trouble is because photo sharing sevices and accounts come and go. You pull up a post and the pictures are no longer there. The associated overhead is storage space as pictures take up a lot of memory. Then there is the maintenance of the software. Then the administration overhead - some people thought they could use it like any other photo sharing service and dump all manner of photos not linked to their posts. The gain is that you can read a topic started 14 years ago and the pictures are still there. You can also search the photo library to find pictures of interest. Say search for "SAA" and all the pictures of SAA in their file name or description will display. Pick a picture and it will give you links to posts made using that picture. I don't and won't do Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I won't do Facebook either!! Schoolmarm does, but I haven't even looked at her stuff!! Two other forums that I'm on will allow direct from your computer photo downloads that are simple and secure. Wish we could do that here!!!
