Hi everyone! In case you haven't figured out, you photos will need to be hosted externally, then embedded into the site with img tags. Unfortunately, photo storage is extremely limited, more photo storage costs more, and we are doing this whole thing from out laptops at our house and maybe a little at work and we are not backed by a huge multinational corporation, so please bear with us. Is it possible in the future we will be able to purchase storage, and maybe we will, or migrate the forum to a different platform when things permit. I can't tell you the ins and outs of all of the certain photo sharing sites, nor how they specifically interface with forums, I use flickr, and you have to copy a special link to embed the photos. I bet there are probably easier ones. Flickr does interface well with your phone, so it is literally just a one tap upload with no muss or fuss. I don't particularly endorse or know enough to suggest any particular one, what you are already using probably works just fine. I know it is an extra layer of complexity, but for now, I would like to have a core component of folks that have some sweet builds and good personalities. Here are some suggestions for photo hosting if you don't already have a service. www.softwaretestinghelp.com/best-free-image-hosting-sites/ |

If you have discord, you can link from there which works well too.

What's your favorite photo hosting platform? Is it platform specific? Almost all my activity comes from a PC. I've tried flickr and it seems to work awesome for me.

Woah, @burkeomatic you inserted individual images in your MIG 29 thread. I didn't know we could do that. On the plus side they're in the post, nice & big. On the minus side I can't click one to show it full size, or swipe to the next image. But I like it.
My next thought is I might embed two pics, and then still say "More pics HERE", and link out. This because out on flickr you're looking at the entire batch of thumbnails, and once viewing a photo you can swipe to the next or previous pic, and you can view them each at full res.

When you copy the BB code share thing on flickr, it has the URL redirect and everything. I just delete it, you could leave it for a couple of pics. Like this  0605211424 by Burkeomatic, on Flickr |

Some of you all need some help with the IMG tags. This site will help. To get an image address, just left click (I'm not sure if yalls mouses....mice? are reversed in Australia and S. Africa) and click copy image url. Then imbed it following this site instructions. You could also just click the picture icon in the top of the post too. www.bbcode.org/posting-images-with-bbcode.php |

Thanks! Pics I had handy to practice posting with. The yellow one was with yellow Hobby Lobby fb and was heavy but nice to not have to paint. The orange one was DTFB minwaxed & painted so almost the same weight. Both pics taken before their first flights so that was the best they ever looked.

New folks, be sure to check this out. Also if you post something on the discord, you can also copy the link for that and stick it inside the img tags, so there is no need to set up an external photo hosting account if you are on discord.
