Fizzelle Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Just a quickie, are we still supposed to be using IMGUR for posting? It seems most people are embedding their shots directly to their post. Can ORBX kindly clarify please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommended! I've been using FSFiles for a fair few years now. It's a great service (and free). Other image hosters seem to come and go (remember the Photobucket debacle?), but FSFiles seems to go forever. @Fizelle - I think what you're seeing as "embedded" are remote files but set to display in the body of the post - in the form: [img=your_pic_url_here] What part of W.Yorkshire are you from? I grew up in Leeds! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styckx Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I've been using Flickr.. IMGUR is absolutely unbearable to use because it compresses images to near Facebook quality and completely and utterly ruins all visual aspects of the original. Flickr still keeps quality to its near original state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzelle Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi guys, I asked only because this is the post at the top of the Forum: As no-one seemed to be using it anymore, I just thought I'd ask; having been unimpressed by the image quality of my linked IMGUR post above. I'll try out the fsfiles position and see if I can do that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently on the Saltaire-Shipley-Moorhead boundary about 5 mins walk from this iconic place: After leaving Leeds and a spell in London, I spent most of my time in the UK in Gloucestershire - so I probably sound more like a West Country yokel with hardly a Kiwi accent at all! I'd forgotten how amazing some of those Northern Mills are. In Gloucestershire, I lived near Stroud which, at one time, had around 100 mills in its surrounding valleys. Quite picturesque - but nothing quite as solidly imposing as some of the mills around Bradford, Huddersfield etc. Back on topic: I'm sure you'll get on well with FSFiles. I find it best to set up some categories (galleries) then my procedure is roughly as follows: 1) Log in and upload your pics. 2) With them still active/selected, go to "Embed Codes" and select "Direct Links" (works for ORBX, but other forums might prefer "BBCode Embed"). 3) Copy the links into your copy/paste buffer, then paste them temporarily into a .txt file. You can then use these links at leisure when subsequently posting here. 4) After you've copied the links, move the images to one of your galleries. The great thing about FSFiles is that it doesn't mess with your images in any way whatsoever. No resizing or re-sampling. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - I think we already reminisced about "Taddy Ales, Tetley's" etc. maybe in some other forum. I used to go to York a lot - and had to pass through Tadcaster. I wonder if the brewery still exists? I worked in a pub in Leeds for a short while and was shocked to see the slops from the beer pumps go straight back into the barrel in the cellar ... YUK!!!!
