I stopped posting trip reports due to the insane amount of time it took to upload photos. I'm very proud of those reports as they were pages and
pages long. Unfortunately I watched those photos get used by scumbag Nomad posters from the OT on other websites to slander myself and my family.
All the while the owner of this site didn't ban the scumbags or it took him quite a while for him to. So I'm done here other than checking in to here
from old friends from time to time. Damn time flies - all that was over 10 years ago!
San Juanico is still rad! |
Ateo, I totally get it about uploading any attachments here. I don't do it for the same reason.
Sorry you had such a bad experience in the OT.
Glad San Juanico still has your heart, amigo. Thats what it's all about!

I follow a few different forums on various topics. This is the only forum that requires users to upload photos to a third party site and then download
them. Every other forum has an attachment button where you can simply attach your photo from your files in a few seconds.

Upload your photo to postimages.org. Copy the link to the photo after uploading.

I get it that Nomad has not made photo posting insanely easy, like Facebook... BUT, it isn't that hard to follow the steps I have shared here (at the
top of the photo gallery forum)...
To post photos from your Pictures folder on your computer...
Go to www.Postimages.org, make an album if you want to organize your photos to find them easily in the future (by date or by subject). No cost to use
Postimages.org.
1) Change the upload setting from "Do not resize my image" to 640x480 (recommended for forums) or 800x600 (max. on Nomad). You click on the little
arrow to see the size choices.
2) Click "Choose images" and select the photos you want to put on Nomad from your Pictures folder.
3) Click on the image you want on Nomad and click on "Share" at the top of the screen.
4) Choose "Hotlinks for forums" (down next to the last one). You can click the little box at the right end of the link and it is now saved on your
mouse.
5) Go to Nomad and paste that link onto the place where you are typing on Nomad.
You can put text in below the photo for a caption for your post and if you double space between photo links (for clarity), you can put several photos
and captions in a single post on Nomad. You can click "Preview" on Nomad to check and see how it will look before posting to the board.
If you need to fix a post after it is done, click on "Edit" along the edge of your post, and change or delete your post. If you edit more than once,
you can delete the previous Edited on tags so only one edit tag will appear after you edit the post.

This photo was uploaded from my computer by clicking the "post reply" button beneath the post you're replying to, then selecting the photo with the
"choose file" button. No need to put the photo on another website first, at least not for this thread.

No need if the photo is already on another site. My information is for personal photos on your computer. They must be 'hosted' before adding to Nomad
unless you reduce the file size that may hurt the image clarity.
There are other methods... I only offered the Post Images one that has worked well, since Photobucket changed the deal on us a few years ago.

The photo I posted above was on my computer. I did not have to reduce the file size or dimensions; I just added it as an attachment.
Upload size limit is 486kB. Image limit is 2200x2200.

Completely irrelevant to my comment. Yes, I understand the photo posting instructions. I said no other forum requires uploading first to a third party
site-all you did was verify the convoluted process for posting photos here.
