It does appear to be that a user can be blacklisted from posting photos. FYI.

I tried all these schemes, but my computer somehow doesn't have those "cues" or "tabs" mentioned.

It would be so simple if "E-Ham" operated like my e-mail.  After composing an e-mail, I click on the icon which takes me to a screen for choosing where to find the picture.  One more click for "upload" and it's attached to my e-mail.

This time everything looks good except you copied the "link" from postimage.org:

https://postimg.cc/SXkfFkK5

Instead, you need to copy the "direct link" from postimage.org:

https://i.postimg.cc/6QGjZQx9/638-BA4-A4-F77-A-4-B19-B300-9-AD7-B3-DA5-FB9.jpg

This is the second choice on the list. If you then place that inside the image tags, you would get:

I'm posting here because the e-mail connection to the Webmaster is suddenly inoperative. It worked earlier today; but now, does not work.

There is nothing in this "sticky" that solves my problem. When I press the "Insert Image" button, I get [img] [img]. What am I supposed to do now?

I have a plain Jane jpeg file on my hard drive that I would like to share in the Elmers Forum; but cannot do so.

With all due respect, there have been more than 84,000 views of this post, which is an indicator of a problem needing attention.

If you have the picture or drawing on your PC, e.g. jpg, png, pdf, etc., then goto postimages.org (no account needed). Make sure "Do not resize my image" and "Never expires" is selected. Then select your file to upload. It will then offer a bunch of links - copy the "direct link", the second one down, by clicking the blue icon to the right of it.



Now return to your eHam message where you want to insert the picture. In the eHam tool bar, select the insert picture icon . Paste the copied link between the two IMG tags. It should look something like this: . Select "preview" to confirmed it worked.

You can see how I put these pictures in this post by "quoting" my post. All the image tags will then be visible to you. After you looked at them, just use your browser's back button to cancel the quoting of my post.

I have shown to the eHam administrators how this can be integrated with a single button into this site and they have ignored the suggestion. They don't seem to care.

Thanks W9IQ for the reply.

What you describe will work; but I don't plan on ever doing it. The process is outright klunky; and to expect users to put up with it is an unacceptable programming practice.  I regularly upload image files to other sites, and I have never seen anything as klunky as this.

It is my understanding that the people who run this site are pretty much volunteers; and do so for love of the hobby. For that reason I'll continue to support them. Maybe they have a programming objective or some other reason that they choose not to share.

I have taken a different tact - I don't financially support them anymore as they are unresponsive. If they came back and said they needed more money to support the update, that would be a different matter.

If you want the pix uploaded, just send it to me and I will post it for you. Yes, the process is "klunky" and multi stepped, But we all figured it out on our own, and post pictures when ever we want.

Glenn,

You put me in mind of the black and white movie (for those of you that - Oh, never mind) with a damsel in distress, tied down to the railroad tracks with a train bearing down on her and then the hero (let's call him Glenn) comes on the scene, rescuing her and they ride off into the sunset.
<Hidden Text>They, of course, were married and lived happily ever after.<End Text>

Again, you've solved another problem!! Oh, my hero!! LOL LOL
