Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire test imgur

Still weighing options, but much prefer the notion that folks will just use the Campfire Gallery to display images on the Campfire. I don't want to have to block anything to be honest. But we gotta have secure pages for everybody's sake.

Again, here's a link that explains why it matters:

If I can interject, and maybe save Rick time.

Try double clicking the picture...if that doesn't work, hold right mouse button down and drag-drop it where you want it.

Rick:

The purpose of the new Gallery is to serve content securely on the Campfire, and to keep images from disappearing and rendering threads nonsensical. A limited amount of posting on other sites isn't going to harm anything, but keep in mind the intent here is not to replace Photobucket but instead to provide a service to Campfire members that is a win/win for all.

Bwana and Rick,

Thanks for the offer of help I appreciate it. Truth is I am seriously challenged on the computer and don't even speak the "language".

Also I don't have a 12 yr old available to show me. ha ha.

I will muddle my way through it as I have done in the past.

I like and understand the concept of storing our photo's here and would like to thank Rick for going through the trouble and investment to provide that service for us.

When you right click what you are looking for is the URL, i.e., https://www.24hourcampfire.com/yade/yada/yada/picture.jpg.

You want to copy that URL, and paste it between image tags [img] and [/img] and that will display it on any post you make throughout the website.

Rick,

How about the iOS browser?

I see a place to link pics from a hosted site.

Understood, thanks Rick.

OK, great, I got that, easy enough when you read the instructions.


Now, please, how do I get the pix from the Gallery to my avatar and signature block. Still going nuckin' futz.

In Edit Profile, you can upload your avatar from your hard drive just like you did to the Gallery. And in the Signature box paste the URL of the pic between the image codes as Rick has outlined previously.

Thanks, Whitetail, I have screwed with it and screwed with it, nothing works, tired and pissed off now, been dicking with it for over 2 hours. Try again tomorrow when I have more patience.

jnyork,

I too have been screwing with it for hours.

Was feeling pretty stupid so asked the wife, she screwed with it for an hour , no luck.

Well, it is some comfort to know that I am not alone in the wilderness here. 90% of my problem is, unlike some of the people here who have been doing computer stuff since they were 5, I have a real problem with understanding the lingo ( img tags, URL's, etc etc) and have not had the opportunity to go to college to learn this crap, nor yet do I have an 11 year old granddaughter to teach it all to me. Really rips my knickers about Photobucket, I could do anything that needed doing with that site, it was so simple a cave man could do it, never had the slightest problem. Now got to learn a whole new way of doing things, maybe 3 or 4 ways counting all the boards I am on. Oh, well, wont matter anyway in the long run.

Guys, this is fairly simple once you do it...maybe 5 seconds to dump/paste picture...then post

I'll be glad to show you "my" way...click by click...Are you grabbing the pictures from your hard drive ?

PS: Be right back, 5-10 minutes...wife's in a cast, needs help

I figured out how to post a pic in the gallery, Rick says drop it between the Img tabs? how do I do that and where are the image tabs?

Also are all of our images in the gallery available for everyone to see?

Good
1)You can either manually type [img] [/img] and place pic link between them...or click the Image link insert button on the post screen(a button that looks like a picture of a mountain).
2) Your photos appear available for view to all, when I logged out I could see all pics as a "non-member"

Remember it has to be a link, not a copy/paste picture https. This is why Rick is asking to skip 3rd party hosts and download from your hard drive space.

????? doesnt seem to work for me

How do I make it a link versus a copy and paste?

Are you grabbing the pic from your hard drive ?

Yes, then I transferred it to the campfire gallery.

I guess having secure pages and pictures is important here. I can still post pictures, from photobucket, at other sites I frequent.... I was beginning to think it was a photobucket problem. Hmmmm...
