Does anyone know the reason this site has such an archaic, Rube Goldburg process to post a photo or two? Its just ridiculous.
Can't we just have a paper-clip icon or similar to snag a photo to post?
Thoughts?

Hi Bob. I use imgur. It works.
I drink 8 Second whiskey. It works as well.
*I believe the whiskey is smoother. FWIW

Software.
The other sites that make loading pictures really easy like Facebook, twitter, etc??? They have hundreds of millions of dollars invested in writing that software and even more in hardware sitting underneath it to store all the media.
The media sites like imgur only do that one thing and don't do a lot of other things.
The software running this site doesn't have that level of investment, and it's not running on servers with nearly that capacity.
There's always tradeoffs.

Bob It is NOT hard to post a picture here if you would just take the time to get a free account here https://postimages.org/ and within a very short time you'll be able to post your picture. I do NOT use a cell phone for internet. I use a cell phone for hello and good bye with an occasional text tossed in.

+1 on Postimage as the easy button.
Only issue I ever have with it is that it scales phone uploads down weirdly small sometimes.

I haven't owned a desktop computer in probably 15 years now 🤷♂️ I spend most of my workday on one; zero desire to monkey with one at home after that.
I might still have a dedicated camera... somewhere 🤔

You're using the HTML insert.
Look for something called UBB code, or similar.

In my opinion, that's what's wrong with computers. Unless you know the language, any explanation you receive is gobblydegook. When they make this stuff intuitive, i.e. not designed by techies to be understood by other techies, then they'll have a winner.
How about this?
Forum X has a "photo" icon in the top right corner that you click on. You find a photo you like and want to show on the campfire. Who cares what format it's in, the computer is supposed to be smart right, let the computer sort out the details. I just want a "I want to add a damn photo" icon. Copy the photo and hit the "I want to add a damn photo" icon, and boom add a damn photo.
All this "HTML" "UBB" "not that one" "look, over here" "here it is, this might work". Just add a damn photo icon. Copy, paste.

In my opinion some of those "computer programmers" don't have a clue what they are doing. I got rooked into Windows 11 and my computer was a mess. I took it to the local computer people and they told me windows 11 had a lot of problems. It works now but i don't know for how long.

I stopped my truck, took this picture with the cell phone, downloaded it to Postimages and then copied it and put it on the campfire in less time than it took me to write how to do it. Somewhere around 50 seconds…

That's them selling you a defective product then selling you the "solution". You know, like owning a Ford product.
