The ReefBox Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 So I have a new iPad and apparently photobucket is no longer available. So how is everyone posting pics now. They have a photobucket express for picture books but doesn't allow you to upload or host pics. What the heck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBlue Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I use tap talk but it compresses the pictures pretty bad Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil&Fin Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I use Tapatalk but I don't think I have a compression issue. I don't think, at least. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil&Fin Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Super easy in any case. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ReefBox Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I am going to try both. What happened to photobucket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I still have photobucket. It works okay on my phone. I don't like the look If tapatalk which is why I don't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have photobucket on old iPad but it is not available on any of my new Apple devices even though they are all shared. My guess is when you update software if apple product you will lose photobucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softy Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 all picture hosting companies are going to compress the image from it's original size.... unless of course you changed your default camera/phone settings to do so. For our pics... i created a website to host our stuff. With all of the tools out there with these hosting companies... anyone can build a website to host pictures....and for only a few bucks a month. Not to mention all of the other things you get with your own domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer503 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The 'My Media' option allows uploading of images, I would assume the 'Image' button within the WYSIWYG may also have that option and that it's just not enabled. It appears that the software used for the forum has a Gallery feature and may fill this need, unless the site owner is against hosting images on the server.

The upgraded forums will allow for our users to upload pics. We are still in beta testing of the new update. As soon as we go through testing.... and re testing... we will update these forums to the latest version..... giving everyone the ability to upload pics. To what capacity...i don't know. There may be some limitations. I just know that the ability to upload is baked into the new version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like this used to be available on one of the previous iterations of the forum but I may just be misremembering... seems to happen a lot more these days.

The ReefBox Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Does Dropbox only work with a PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer503 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Does Dropbox only work with a PC Nope, works on Mac also. Just install it go to your Dropbox directory, right click on the image you want to share and you should be able to get a public URL from the contextual menu. Hope that helps.

Sorry meant either like a desk top or a lap top, cause I can't do much on the Ipad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
