LarryUK Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I've just spent ages getting a photo small enough to post and now it tells me I've got too much content. All I've got in my attachment folder is 6 pics. What a stupid site. How do you delete the old content to post new and why can you only post so little? No wonder this site gets fewer users all the time. It's the hurdles you have to jump over to post something. Quote

No wonder this site gets fewer users all the time. It's the hurdles you have to jump over to post something. Use Imgur. Upload your photo to Imgur, cut the the link on the right that says BBCode and paste it in your post. Easy. Here is a very nice album I like to listen to posted from that site. Quote
'Scales Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Huh? I stuck a picture into the Almost Normal Band Life thread the other day by just copying and pasting it straight from Facebook - no imgur or anything else requiring up or down loading. If it was any more difficult than copy and paste I wouldn't even bother, but it worked fine. Quote
kidblast Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I use FB too, I just upload and I keep the photo private Open the photo once in facebook Right click and "Copy image link" use the "Insert other media" tool in the new post edit window. Change https to http.. and there ya go... 1 1 Quote
rct Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I send Polaroids to ksdaddy. He takes them to FotoMat and they mimeograph them so he can take them to Grants for conversion to slides. Then he projects them and takes a picture of the slides with his iFone. rct 4 1 Quote

When I left in 2019 I had to make sure my card reader, PUNCH card reader, went back in inventory. And the three mag tape units I had for a system that hasn't existed for over...dozen years now. lolz rct Quote
LarryUK Posted June 12, 2020 Author Posted June 12, 2020 How do you delete photos you have on here? It says I've used up my allowance. I've only got 5 pics on there. Quote

I have no idea now, What works for me best is to send Rob, (Digger) for those who don't know who Rob is, a photo on Email, and he puts it where I tell him LOL. Works every time! Quote

My wife has a Masters in computers, she can't figure it out and I asked her several times. My son is better but not as easy to get to him to look at it. I used to be able to post photos off Photo Bucket and have Imgur now, but I cant get in to it. I can see a photo of my guitars but it stops there. Quote

I'm sure I can do it with a little help from Deb. She just needs to take the time to do it. She is really smart, Straight A student through schools and college. Me? Just not in to electronics. I told her before I die, I'm taking my computer and cell phone to the target range and see how many pieces I can shoot it in. Haha, That got a response! "Oh No You're Not!" I'm getting a Epiphone Riviera for my past 67th Birthday last April. I'd like to post photos so I need to learn quick. Quote
