How do I post photos from Fotki

[Foxer]

I made the switch to Fotki but I can only get it to add a link to my photo, not place the photo in the thread. The help on Fotki says there is a link displayed on Fotki below the displayed photo, but this is a 11 year old Help file and no link is displayed.

Many of you use Fotki so please post how you do it. I tried using the 'share' option and that only displays the link, not the photo. I can find no optio on Fotki to give me the proper img html code and I do not want to have to write the html code myself .. this is 2017!

Mike, if you right click on the pic in Fotki, you'll see in the window "Copy Image". Click that, and either paste it in your text window here, or do a "Control V"------the pic should show up.

I want to say that I find posting pics from Fotki, is a MUCH more user friendly effort than Photobucket! No kerfutzing around with HTML codes, or whatnot. Just copy the image, paste it here, and you're all set!

THANK YOU BILL! I knew it had to be easy, but this was too simple for my engineer mind trying to make it complicated!

Fotki does sound much easier.  Maybe I'll open an account over there.  Can you do separate albums/folders for each model and then group them?  In PB I have each build in an album and made groups after that - Street Rod, Trucks, Customs, factory Stock, etc.

Sure can Jim! Whenever I'm doing a WIP for a particular model here (and for other boards), I'll have those WIP's in a particular group or album. After I'm done and it's now "Under Glass" here, I can then move them to another group. For example, the '63 Porsche you saw me restoring a little bit ago was once grouped here.

Now that I'm done with it, it's now in this group here.

As I said, Fotki to me is much more user friendly than other image hosting sites, and for $24 a year you can't beat it!

Sounds much easier to show pics than Flickr.  I might have to start a Fotki account after finishing my next build.  and there's the thousands of pics I have on PB.

Wouldn't it be worth paying the $59.99 to access and copy all of your photos to your computer ?  When you're done close the account .

  Just look up at Bill's instructions ... couldn't be easier!  ... much easier than Flickr.

I maintain all my pics on my hard drive so there's no need to pay PB anything.

Click on thumbnail to open the photograph to its normal size. Click on the share link to the right above photo, click the first line, and it copies. It's painfully easy.

I do about the same as what Bob Downie shows, but I click the button at the bottom of the pop-up that says "More Sharing Options." Clicking on that button opens up a new page called "Share File." From there I copy the "Code for forums" URL on the album size tab. Pic below posted in this manner.

I tried both before asking the question and neither worked. When I copied the Share link it just showed the link in the thread rather than the photo.

I went down that "More Sharing Options." even less happened.

 

I suggest you look at Bill Geary's method at the beginning of this thread and you will change to that .. couldn't be less than the 3 clicks any other way!

I do thank you all for the suggestions! It's good to have more than one way to do it

 ... off to Fotki uploading ...

For me it's much easier to open up the pic, right click on the pic, select copy image, and then paste it right here in the text box..........

No muss no fuss, just move on right along.......

I'm with you Bill.

"Click on this, then click on that, move this here & move that there".

To heck with all of that!

Show me something easier than "copy & paste"!
