Photos and Video

How odd! The photo on this post has vanished, not even leaving a trace of a link. It was there for a while, I came back and checked, but now it's gone. Meanwhile, in my next post, another photo inserted in the same way from the same sourcis still there. (It's from Kiko park). Has someone in IT removed my big photo?

I am unable to copy anything so can only add photos from my own pc. (Silverstone photo.)

Someone (can';t remember who) said to me that they could add photos the old way, via Photobucket.  I've not been able to do this on this new version of CT.  I've tried 'the old method' by using Firefox and Chrome, but no luck.  As anyone else managed to add a photo 'the old way'?

I agree that the Old Way using photobucket was bullet proof and worked every time.  Can't understand why the CC ditched it. 

This new CC software IMO is a backward step as far as posting photos are concerned.  I just can't be bothered faffing about trying to  post photos. .

I had a feeling this might happen with the size restriction.  I'm sure someone said to me you can still use the old Photobucket system, but I certainly can't get it to work.

I've managed to post a photo from my Picasaweb archive and here's an attempt from Flckr - taken on a visit to Skegness.

 I had to use drag and drop whereas it used to be copy and paste i.a.w. Flickr instructions - very strange.

It could have something to do with the fact it was not possible to do from a pad, or phone. Both of which are possible now. How you can imply the new system is not bullet proof is beyond me. I don't need to use some off site storage. I can take a photo from my photos, reduce it in a convenient app ( I believe resizing was also required on the old system) and post it. Total time taken about 1 minute. If that is considered faffing about, I am happy to do it.

SteveL,

The new website allows you to post expandable thumbnails, but not full-width photos as I have just done (see above). Like DSB we store photos in the 'cloud' which means they're accessible on line. We could also insert them into the flow of text in 'Stories' rather than slide show viewer.

It would be nice to have both procedures available.

I would not disagree with what you say. The point I was making is that the provided method, even if more limited, opens up posting photos to a lot more folk. Plus to say it is a faff, as K did, is in my opinion just not true.
