Posting Photos to the Forum
Posted by srguy on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 2:52 PM

Can anyone tell me the best way to post pictures to the forum. I just set up an account on Shutter Fly and tried it on my imac using Safari ... no luck.. I also have a PC using Windows7 and IE7 which I haven't tried. Is there anything special as far as settings??

I never had any luck posting photos from Shutterfly.. I use Photobucket for my photo posting needs. I have nearly a dozen accounts containing thousands of photos. I think I opened the first one in 2004. To post a photo on the forum I simply place the mouse pointer on the photo thumbnail and a list of tags pops up. I click the IMG tag then come to the forum or whatever other forum I'm posting to, open a reply box, right click on the box, click paste and voila, the IMG tag appears in the reply box. Couldn't be easier.

I use to post photos from Shutter Fly when I had Internet Explorer but since I changed over to Firefox apparently something doesn't work with that combo. No problems with Photo Bucket and Firefox.

I use PhotoBucket as well, posting is easy-peasy with them, just point and click. Example below...
