Post image not working

[malcolm]

Myself and others have found that postimage has stopped working. Any info David?

No, spotted it myself this afternoon. Hopefully it is just a glitch. I would however (again) strongly recommend using IMGUR to host your photos. It is free, reliable and easy to use.

I'll give IMGUR a try!

I've got an IMGUR account, but although I can see how to post an image on their site, can't see how to get it transferred onto here

Malcolm, open a photo in imgur then you should see towards the lower right the option to click on something like select for forums. Then that is pasted into where you wish to show it in a post.

Hope that helps

As Geoff says, click on your photo then copy 'n paste:


I just posted the above image using Postimage to confirm it is back working

Another advantage of IMGUR is clicking on your posted photo allows people to enlarge it which does not often happen with Postimage.

Thanks both - think I've cracked it!

David, slight thread creep but the user notifications seems to have forgotten to send an email when there's a PM waiting and unable to access that part of user profile at present. Minor thing but wanted to ask, thanks.

Can't think why it is not working unless a user has deleted their email address or it is an old no longer used one. Please PM me as a test.

David, will send a PM as test. But I have received three PMs today with no email notification that I used to get. The Board Preferences "Edit notifications options" causes an HTTP error 500 when selected (on a Mac or iPad).
The only change I've recently made following a discussion on another thread was to allow users to send me emails.
