    You can also host images here on JC.

    Click on your username at the top right of the forum page and then go to albums in the left pane.

    wierd, does the same thing for me.

    I use JC albums though.

    actually when you go to that page it looks like a flash object.

    holy crap ok this works but it's HUGE!

    let's see about this one - third times a charm!

    I got these links by viewing the source of the page, surely there's an easier way to find them???

    just thought I would let you guys and girls if any my trials and tribulations regarding this-lol

    I tried dropbox and played around with that program for over an hour installing,trying to post pictures etc

    I then gave up and tried photobucket as jecs suggested and found it a lot easier to work out and it worked first time too

    this is just my experience others may have more luck

    i'm just glad it eventually worked

    for me it seems to work a lot easier than dropbox,once the photos are uploaded you can edit them in many ways and then there is a feature to post via facebook email etc,then there is a link button use that and a box opens up then click on photos will automatically copy then go to pic tab in post and paste
    as the saying goes bobs your uncle-lol

    ... photobucket is the only way

    it does everything for you (once you have stored your pic there)
    click on the links on the right of the image (or underneath) that says IMG

    and paste that here after it says ' COPIED' and you get something like this


    [​IMG]


    plus BookFace and Photobucket are linked so you want to publish pics elsewhere PB is the way to go :)

    Dropbox pictures need to be in public folder. Cbf reading back to see if that's been suggested.
