Drunk Photo Rant

[tig]

I did that to prove a point. I used imugr for those photos. Imugr is evil for forum photos because they get deleted after a period of time.

I fixed it.

Here's the updated instructions on how to put photos on Flickr into mye28.com posts:

In your web browser while on a Flickr photo detail page, click the "up and to right" arrow.


Then click "BBcode", select your resolution (I usually do something around 1000 horizontal pixels).


Click the URL box (click anywhere in it) and the URL will be selected.


Then press Ctrl-c (or Cmd-c) to copy the BBCode to the clipboard.

Switch back to your mye28.com post and hit Ctrl-v (cmd-v) to paste.

Once you do it the first time, subsequently the BBCode will automatically be selected (and the resolution remembered). Just hit Ctrl/Cmd-C to copy the BBCode text to the clipboard. IOW, once you do this the first time the steps are:

1. In your web browser while on a Flickr photo detail page, click the "up and to right" arrow.
2. Press Ctrl-c (or Cmd-c) to copy the BBCode to the clipboard.
3. Switch back to your mye28.com post and hit Ctrl-v (cmd-v) to paste.

That's all super, but it still works not from a mobile device. I figured it out on the iPhone or iOS world. The problem is you have to use the desktop site and then the issue is with selecting the whole bbcode linky dealie. You have to use two fingers to tap the address. Then it works. Of course, I SHOUDN'T HAVE TO FUCKING DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111ONEoneWonjuan.

I agree. It f**king drives me nuts that I don't have any easy way to post photos while mobile. I end up batching up posts I want to make until I am at a PC.

Just found https://app.shoeboxapp.com/app
Anybody use this?

I'd like a host that'd upload the pics IN the files they are sorted to on the laptop.

Do FaceBook links last?

Test pic:

[waxonwaxoff]

No. In posts I've made using facebook to upload pics, they have all expired. Some expired in less than a year.

[jhh925]

Just gonna chime in that this place sucks out loud: http://abload.de/

I'm not sure what the attraction is for the uploader (I'm certainly open to learning). But for the user, the thumbnail that appears in the post is useless, and if you click on the pic, I'm nearly always forced to click through two or three pop-up ads.

And they're German, too.

[wkohler]

Oh, I couldn't follow any of those photos. I just looked at the thumbnail. Terrible.

[Karl Grau]

Terrible.

[wkohler]

This so-called photo hosting service is very bad. Or so I've been told. Lots of people are telling me this. Important people. I'm very big league about this.

[MicahO]

Ignore this! I'm not doing this!

[MicahO]

Is anyone else posting photos from Google Photos?

Without PicasaWeb, the links are all shit. Does this one work?

[wkohler]

I do, but I see all of mine. Not sure if other people do. I still use the picasa uploader, but I have to go to photos.google.com to get them, then right click the photo and put the address in. Only way it seems to work.

[MicahO]

The actual Picasa-web was so much better to work with, when they let you select the size, etc.

I tried adding "=s800-tmp.jpg" (replace from the equals sign forward) to the end of the big photo link and it seems to be working, but as you mention I don't know if that's just for people who already have a connection to Google Photos or if it's for everyone.

[wkohler]

I still don't see your image.

[MicahO]

Maybe this? Using a link from the "Album Archive" i.e. picasaweb, as you mentioned.

[wkohler]

I can see clearly now.

[MicahO]

Nice! I was happy with that output.

Stop using Photobucket. It's a piece of shit.

Truer words have not been written.

I've had a few beers this evening so piling on this aptly named thread. Haven't had a lot of time recently to play on mye28.com. Almost every thread I've visited tonight has f*cking broken photobucket links like this:



Flickr may be a PITA to use, and now that Verizon owns Yahoo who owns Flickr, they are sure to try replicate the brilliance of Photobucket, but at least photos you put there stay there and links always work.

[bkbimmer]

I stuck with photobucket just to spite you.

Shocking.

I can see clearly now.

the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way.

This is really pissing me off (I'm sure a bunch of mucky-mucks at Verizon, Google, wherever just shuddered). I just went back to the stickied-B35 conversion thread only to find that the wiring guides originally posted by BradD are now gone. Fuck!!!! and fuck you, photobucket.

And it's killing me to think that cek is surely correct that Flickr will inevitably follow suit at some point.

Serious question, is there a permanent solution that this community could set up for hosting photos here? I'm sure it would involve $$, but it's not like we're not already spending tons on these cars and essentially using this place as our technical support guide.

I use imgur and it works great. Easy to use and the photos arent going anywhere. Permanent? Probably not but it is one of the main hosting sites for reddit and that will not change anytime soon. I really dont mind making a guide if needed.

Is that right? I'm looking at cek's post above:
