Why so hard to post a pic ?

[Mark L]

Just spent 3 hours trying to post pics.

No matter what URL i use from Imgur i cant get the pic to stay after i post the thread.

the pic is visible while writing the post, but when i press post, it posts with no pics showing.

The guide for posting pics here is so out of date it does not relate to the process on the editor.

Some help please before in smash my head against a wall :bang: too late icard:

well, you could have spent 5 minutes of those 3 hours to maybe ask a real quick question in the shoutbox.

Anyways, use Imgbb

Because imgur has banned RWI ....try a different image host and use the full BBCode

An Image hosting site banned RWI because people use it to host images they want to post?

Thats a bit f***ed up init?

Indeed it is, but put you in their shoes : we are basically bandwidth leecher, they earn nothing thanks to us (people with ad-blockers and previously we had a direct plugin to upload on them without even going on their website).
At some point they have to pay the bills and the balance is not good if they only let traffic out without having money in for that traffic.

Truth is, RWI is so big on images that most host will sooner or later show the bandwidth limit image, we are starting to get them with imagebb already

That's good news, I only have accounts on 5 image hosting sites, getting a 6th account set up will be really exiting.

Thanks. This is what i did when i was having problems posting.
I open an account though not realising i could just upload and post without one.

This is great advise for anyone with the same problem.
