How do you post an image from your computer???

Postby Kirbologist » June 10th, 2012, 9:38 pm

I keep getting trouble on how to post an image straight from my computer for my signature, but I don't want to make an imgshack or photobucket account. Please help me!

Moved to Site Discussion.

I'm afraid you can't upload attachments into your sig, I also asked this question sometime a while ago and you have no choice but to upload it to photobucket or imageshack etc.

Although I haven't tested it myself, there is an alternative I think. Make a post and upload an image from your computer as an attachment and preview the post, then click on the link. Copy and paste the URL (should be a Runouw downloads url) and put it in img tags in your sig. It might work, though I've never tried it myself so i don't know for sure.

You don't have to make an account, you can just upload images to imageshack. Personally, I prefer imgur as there are much less ads, and the uploading process seems much quicker.

And I wouldn't stick with tinypic either if your images have too much unintentional/possible copyright material. >_>

...Or just about any copyright material at all.

From my point of view, a quick comparison of all major image hosting sites I can think of:

ImageShack - my favourite, but you'll need an account for the direct link and quite a few people *cough*Bog*cough* despise it
Tinypic - used to use this, but it's not really favourable, as well as the fact half of your images will go missing.
imgur - fast, flexible, but freaks out a lot.
Photobucket - like a usual hosting site, but caps out at 100 images and deletes your old ones without warning.
