Default Need hellp with a simple way to upload pics.

Well just venting a bit here so please excuse me guys n gals. Ever since joining the forum I've had constant problems with uploading photos from my desktop. I get one or two here or there but I'd say 85-90% of them take forever trying to load just to put up saying failed. anyway so I'd given up on that my main source for photos was photo bucket I'd upload them there and then copy and paste, pretty simple n that the way i liked it. Well go figure photo bucket has changed now and you can no longer copy and paste I suppose its a good thing so people cant steal your pictures and use them and what not but I like it when things are nice and easy so I guess I'm asking whats the easiest way to go about putting pictures up in a thread. Attach a link to my photobucket album? And if going that route do I have to make it an open album or somethin lol. Anyway my frustration comes from I took some pics of the Monte with my cell I was gunna upload for ya guys n gals but after trying a few methods I became very aggrivated with photobuckets changes. The part that ticks me off the most is (IMO anyway) your already ticked they changed the site but then you're trying to do something nbam every click causes another pop up saying stuff like "tour the new photobucket now?" or "do you like the new photobucket?" I mean come on lol. Ok I think thats it for now

Here is what i do, go to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting Upload the picture, format the size for message boards so its not too big, then once its done just copy the IMG code from there and paste it in here with your text.

I use Photobucket. I have an app on my phone to automatically upload images as I take them so it doesn't take forever to upload 10 or more at a time. I just copy over the [img] code and the pic shows up on the forum. I've never had a problem with pop-ups on their site but I'm using Google Chrome a majority of the time.

I've always used the [img] code from Photobucket also.

Uploading directly to the forum is very restrictive. Your pic has to be under a certain file size. And even then, the server automatically reduces your pictures quality. (nothing I can do about that by the way) Linking your pics from another website doesn't reduce the size and quality of your pic.

I'll have to try photobucket again maybe i missed it I didnt mean literal popups i meant since they changed the sight they have bubbles that come up from the site and show you the new things etc about it.

Pictures don't do it any real justice anyway so not to worried about quality I just like to share the pics I take thanks for the info by the way I'll keep it in mind I should have figured that it'd be hard to do a direct upload due to the various sizes of photos.
Thanks Lou
