Can't Post Photos, Anyone Else?

[Tbrown]

Title says it all! Went to start a new build thread, and was using the new widget to post. Image is being shared from Flickr. On PC, also tried from my phone with no luck. The app everyone raves about doesn't show RCCrawler on there.

Hoping it's an easy fix! Want to share the build photos with everyone!

I stopped using Flickr because I also started having issues with it.

I now use Imgur. I created a guide if you are interested in trying this completely free image host. It's not the most intuitive, but neither was Flickr IMO. This guide was written for RCCrawler before the site update, but should mostly still apply. And if you need any help with it, feel free to PM me!

Thread 'Imgur - Embedding and Posting Photos'

Apr 29, 2020

Image hosts are going paid left and right so a lot of people have been moving to Imgur. It's not the most intuitive site and organizing albums isn't the easiest, but it is completely free.

There have been lots of issues and questions on this forum about posting and embedding images from Imgur so hopefully this quick, little guide helps.

You can upload photos to Imgur and share them without registering. But if you want to organize or keep track of your photos you will have to register on their website.

Please DO NOT test in this thread. That will just clutter this thread and...

the only Issue i have with imgur is I cant keep them in one place, I thought about using instgram or spinning up my own img src to use but didnt know how RCC would like if I was posting my own hosted images all over the place.

Since Photobucket wanted to charge me for my 2002 created free lifetime unlimited account since 2016ish, I ve been using IMGBB.
Seems to work very well.

That's not true at all. It's just not intuitive. Go to the page showing all the images by clicking on your username at the top right, clicking "Images" and then you will see what I have below. Click the "All Images" dropdown and you can create a new album, edit albums, etc.


Or from the "Posts" page, you can go into the post and select "Add more images" at the bottom right. See the second image.
