Problem posting images

[Shaha98]

First problem if you are from newbie then your post will not get image view.

Secondly you need to use extra one apps ""photo uploder""
You have to get the link from here and place the link between the BB code. If you post in this way, you will definitely get image visits to your post.

My advice is to use imgur, imgbb is suck since there's few moment the images is error and it will show "Bitcointalk.org image proxy: Invalid image" even though the images is appeared before and yo're using the correct BBCode. Don't forget there's a limitation to upload an image, the maximum is only 2MB, if you upload higher than 2MB the images will error too.

You are correct @Solosanz, imgbb is not reliable. At first, the pictures would be valid and okay but after a few hours or days, the images would show that they image is invalid. And the most challenging part of the situation is that there is no known reason for this. At first, I thought that it was because I didn't register but it persisted after registration.

I have not tried imgur but after observing some images in the forum, I concluded that that website is the best. I have to devise a means to register because their services is not offered at my location.

To post image on the forum is very simple, and here is how it goes by using this website I will be showing you below..
First you have to visit this website.. www.imgbb.com

1. You just have to select an image you want
2. Upload the image you just selected
3. Change the bbcode to "Bbcode full link"
4. Copy the link and bring it to Bitcoinalk forum
5. Paste the link you just copied in the comment box and post..
6. Image is ready for display.. That's all

Well bitcointalk doesn’t like all uploaders sites so you should choose good ones, most of experienced users here are using only few websites and the good thing is some websites are keeping the pictures for so long and since the bitcointalk was created
Personally i love using postimages.org



The few features postimages has are so useful for resizing your pictures without using any editor, and also a date of expiration if you want the picture to disappear. That’s my suggestion but also read other experienced users for more and better solutions

I often find image source links from imgur in every post, I also recommend using it because image sources can be accessed for a longer period of time than other sites, I think imgur is listed for all locations and if it is blocked maybe you can access it using a VPN .

I only just made it to Jr Member status and have not posted an image successfully, yet.

After learning how to post images successfully you should also learn how to properly size them images not to become too bogus.
Because of your new rank you do not need to be under any form of pressure to post an image, it is not the must and that there must be images posted in your profile. There are members who have been here for a long time and have not posted any image on their profile. Images are to Promote understanding of a post.

I have a problem with images not posting.

I only just made it to Jr Member status and have not posted an image successfully, yet.

I try to follow the instructions here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3974517.msg37748469#msg37748469

However, the images show up as : Bitcointalk.org image proxy: Invalid image

The link I am using is this: https://drive.proton.me/urls/T6WS4KN898#R3RZei8w1qwf

and the code in total is this: [url=https://drive.proton.me/urls/T6WS4KN898#R3RZei8w1qwf.png]][url=https://drive.proton.me/urls/T6WS4KN898#R3RZei8w1qwf.png][/acronym][/url]

or this (neither of them work):
https://drive.proton.me/urls/T6WS4KN898#R3RZei8w1qwf.png[/img]]

I also tried adding '.png' after the ProtonDrive link, but get the same result.

beginners are often not able to display images on the forum, I also don't know why,
maybe I don't know the rules or don't know how.

I think the problem is with the website where you uploaded your image. please try to re-upload your image on another site like imgur or others. and try again to post it here. and if it still fails (invalid). then please check your image size (mb). because what I experienced is that images on this forum are easier to display if they have a file size of under 2 mb. eg 1.99 mb.

but I think your image is already small for the file size. so the problem is with the website where you are uploading.

and if based on your rank who is already a Jr member. then you should be able to post pictures.

so conclusion:
~Try reducing the image file size again if it is still above 2 mb.

~try re-uploading the image on another website. like imgur.

Thanks again everyone!

The problem was that there is a difference between online image hosting and online file storage.

Now I know that and I have posted a few pictures elsewhere.
