I wanted to post photos of my house for someone. I’m on an iMac and iPad, but I cannot get the stupid attach photo tool to work. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

    You have to upload your photos to a hosting service first , the forums themselves don't cover photo or video storage.

    I downloaded an app called imgur. I post privately on there and then post the link over onto here

    https://imgur.com/

    Upload on that website and then copy paste the image URL in the image part on the forum comment thingy. Be sure that its the URL of the image and not the page the image is on.

    If you use discord, you can also use the link for the photos.

    for those of you that are not very computer savvy, imgur is the way to go. Then just paste the BBCode link into the forums...and

    If you don't want to use an outside site for whatever reason, there's a workaround.

    1. Start a draft thread on one of the forums that allows you to upload a picture. Some do, some don't. This will generate a URL for that picture.

    2. Copy paste that URL to your thread in a forum or post that doesnt allow you to upload a picture.
