How to share images and files

[harryth]

Hello Hans,
I am trying desperately to get an image from mediafire.com to a reply I want to send.
I can't find "More sharing options…" when I click on "Share" in the user interface.
It only offers 2 links, one for Download and one for View.
I tried both links but none of them works in the preview of my reply
If I open the link in my browser, it works as expected.
Was there a change in the user interface at mediafire.com?
Btw. I have choosen the BASIC account (free)

Thanks in advance for a tip.

Best Regards

Harald

Unfortunately, the Direct Link option in MediaFire More sharing options menu disappeared a while ago [:(]

[harryth]

is there another method to upload images to the post without the need of a kostly service?

Best Regards
Harald

There are a lot of this kind of service, just search the web for "free image hosting service" (I think searching in English would give more results), and pick up one that works for you. Here are some: ImgBB, Postimages, Imgur
Many doesn't require any registration.

Thx for posting this but I can't even find where to post a new topic. I don't see that toolbar on any of the forums. What am I missing? I'd like to post some screenshots and models that i've been working on. Thx.

You probably have listed "Recent threads". You can't start a new thread from there because the system doesn't know in what forum to start a new topic.

Choose "Forum" from the menu on the left and select the forum you want to post to. Now you will see a button "New thread" on the right at the top and the bottom of the topic list. Click it and you can start a new topic for the selected forum.

You can also click a topic in the "Recent threads" list. The buttons will show again and you can click it to start a new topic in the same forum as the topic you selected before clicking the button.
