Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and looking for instructions on how to upload photos. I tried to post photos on the Sports forum but wasn't able activate the upload file option. Is there a waiting period before a new member can post photos? Can anyone help me? Thank you

Your Upload & Sell: Off
You must pay for Upload & Sell first or host the files elsewhere. Did you pay and not get activation yet?

Thanks for the reply EBH! I appreciate it. I did not know I had to pay to post photos. I will do that now. You said, "host the files elsewhere". Does that mean leave a link to another site to view the photos?

Yes, you can link images for example from your own website.

I believe you can post from most photo websites, Flickr, Pbase,...........it has been a very long time since I did that so I could be wrong.
"EB" is always "on top" of happenings here on FM so he can direct us both if I have mis informed you.
WELCOME!
Get posting ASAP!

You're right, Dan, about posting from Flickr. That's what I do and it works well.

I just learned how to do this without paying.
I used Flickr. Click the arrow (share icon) on your photo and use "BBCode". It will give you a long string of text and then copy that info and just paste it in your reply. It will look weird but when you hit post it will link your photo and even pull the photo into the thread!

There is a "sticky" about posting from Flickr that has been on the forum for many, many years!

I found old instructions that indicate you just need to put the URL from a website server. I just tried this in a test message, using the URL of an image from my website, and instead of the image appearing in the message, only the URL appeared?
What am I doing wrong?

I just posted this link from the BH. You need to link to the file itself, not the page. I'm not sure what all types other than PNG and JPG are acceptable.

You have to use the BB code.
For details, ask Google: "Smugmug how to get the bb codes"
