Title: Easy image posting option
Post by: jv on 27 January 2021, 19:33
You know how since... oooh 2002, adding images on here has been a constant source of problem? Well, don't say we don't tackle issues head on here at GTI towers. Oh yes, we now have an "Add image to post" button. It uses the service provided by https://postimages.org/ so images are stored/hosted by them, not us - which was always the headache I couldn't be bothered to deal with in the past.

So there you go. 2021 and it's all going on here.

It's a great addition, thanks jv.

I can now add sarcastic pictures to all of the threads.

Perfect! If you could particularly focus on Exonian that would be great.

I wondered why my ears were burning  :laugh:

Ok, punctuality was never a strong point with me and I’ve only just stumbled upon this thread by accident.

A big pat on the back jv.
Even if it did take me five minutes to actually find the big blue thingy for the pic uploading.


 
To celebrate, here’s a pic of three great things from the late summer all in one place, a sexy BMW bum, a sexy up! GTI and Philps, my favourite pasty shop. Then again Rowes pasties are very good too.
Not a boring Golf in sight.

Testing, testing, one, two, three.

Neat solution, but I have a problem - I can’t see photos posted via postimg, and I can’t even access  the postimg site, all from my iPad using Safari. What I get is “Safari cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server.”

I have tried all the settings etc. that I can think of! Does anyone have any advice? Photos posted via other hosts appear as normal, and I could get to the sign up page in the first post on this thread, but, after I signed up, I couldn’t open the login page! All very frustrating and looks like an Apple security thing, but is there a way round it?

The issue is not exclusive to the GolfGTIforum - I also have similar trouble on the SELOC Lotus forum.

I have placed a test photo below. If you can see it, you are doing better than me. It should be a shot of my VX220 track car.

EDIT: Solution found - see below - so I can now see my VX again! Hoping for a track day sometime soon. Didn’t manage any in 2020! ☹️

Your VX looks great! That's the good news, unfortunately being a bit of a luddite, I can't answer your problem.

OK, sorted at last. McAffee security app! I probably should have checked it first, but it’s usually very unobtrusive, simply doing what it’s supposed to. Ditched it from the iPad completely for now. I might look for a work around, but iPads are inherently pretty secure, so I might just do without.

Good job. If it'd been me, I'd have shouted and sworn a bit then given it to my OH to sort out :grin:
