How to Upload Photos in a post?

Flickr is a bit complicated, as it loves to insert a junk URL that, essentially, advertises their site. Here's a photo of mine at Flickr:

But to do that I had to go to the photo in my 'Photostream', click on it, click on the 'Share' icon (a curved arrow), select BBCode, and get this link:

[url=https://flic.kr/p/2o1jGc3][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52512188656_ab60d34d5e_c.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2o1jGc3]Reference_Series_V[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrism229/]chrism229[/url], on Flickr

I then reduced that link in the Image box here by selecting and deleting everything after 'jpg' and everything before the second 'https' leaving just this:

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52512188656_ab60d34d5e_c.jpg

And the Image dialog here just puts the image tags [img][/img] around that address.

If you use Flickr's simple link, which the Flickr Share box helpfully calls 'Share' you get a link to the page with the image on, but not an image inline in a post here:

You'll get the hang of it!

so dark ages….. Audiogon needs a serious upgrade…. to remain even remotely competitive…..

It is pretty trivial to set up something like phpBB (I’m not an IT person, merely an amateur, and I recently set up a forum for CLL patient support), but the big thing is the loss of the existing posts. That is very hard to import. At best one could have the old forum in read only format as well as the new, with links between them.

I think it's fair to say that while we enjoy the forums, they are a sideline for Audiogon, which is a for-profit business for re-selling audio gear.

Create a free account at https://imgpile.com/  Then you simply point and click to upload pictures from you computer to imgpile.   Select any picture, right click for image details, select image address.  Paste that (crtl + V) into the Audiogon post.  Easy Peasy.  

This process just took less than 60 seconds.
