MOS:96B2P Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I'm no longer able to post screenshots. I have used Imgur for the past few years without a problem. I am still able to post screenshots on other sites like Grogshead but not here. I have tried to post from different computers and different browsers. I contacted the help desk (they suggested trying a different browser). I don't think anything on my end has changed. Same computers, same Imgur, same Windows 10, same browser etc. The forum did change to this new format. It was after the forum change I discovered I could no longer post. I am still posting screenshots in other sites. Any ideas? @Schrullenhaft any adult supervision would be greatly appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Use this for hosting screenshots https://postimages.org 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Strike Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I used Imgur on Tuesday this week without issue, the images are still there, just checked. Know this doesn’t help, but I don’t think the forum update is to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Well, as a test I dragged and dropped this one from my desktop. However I "think" I need to use an image hosting sight if I'm going to have very many screenshots on the forum?

Lucky_Strike Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Here's a test from Imgur: shameless plug for my Hedgerow Hell mod. I'm always running out of space in my attachments allocation. @Warts 'n' all is correct in that you can delete older attached images to free up space, and the images will stay embedded in the forum BUT this only seems to happen after a certain amount of time. Delete the images attachments too soon and they seem to disappear for good. I think the images embed after perhaps a month or two, maybe when they are archived or some such. I've deleted some after a few weeks and they disappeared never to be seen again, and because we can't edit posts after a given time the post will forever be without images - very annoying if you try to read older posts to follow a thread or some useful advice. I appreciate that BF provide the forums for free to us, but storage is very cheap now and it's a shame that such a useful resource can get scrambled over time - I guess the Internet Archive may have older versions of the site saved WITH images. I digress and this doesn't help you now. Is there a limit in Imgur? I just joined so have only got a few images on there.

rocketman Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 @MOS:96B2PThe forum changed recently and now only accepts from Imgur if the link is https: , so add that if the generated link don't have that. At least that solved it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that solved it for me. Yes, the link to my image was https fo’shizzle. The link generated by Imgur was that by default. YMMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Test screenshot post: Works for me, use "direct link" and the button below "other media" and use "insert image from URL". Edit: I have never noticed images disappearing from this forum using Imgur. But I don't have a ton of images there.
