Off topic: Images in the forums

  • I'm not one that has ever had the need to post any sort of picture/image online. From time to time, I think it would be really helpful if I could include a screen shot/diagram of the problems/issues that arise when I use this forum. Since we can't really upload pictures on these forums directly but we could include a link to an image, can anyone give me a recommendation on any such free sites that allow you to upload pictures/screen shots? I don't need a lot of room at all.

    I've seen sites that offer free storage but they want me to login once every 30 days or so or they deactivate the account. Those are sites I've found anyway. I don't see myself needing to login that often. I'd pretty much only use it for forums I frequent and only when I needed to show a screen shot.

    A site like http://pastebin.org/ or http://pastebin.com/ but for screen shots etc would be really cool.

    Has anyone found a site they really liked for temporary image storage?

    TIA,

    John

    You can upload images...

    When you create a new post, scroll down to find the "Edit Attachements" button and follow your nose to upload an image. Once uploaded, right click on the attachment and select "properties" to get the URL that the upload was saved as. Past that in the "img" IfCode shortcut. It won't "preview" but it will show up in your post... for example...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
