I’m on my phone too.
I’m traveling far away from home, no laptop/pc.
don’t have access to my pc/laptop. :person_facepalming:
I’ll try again later when I get home
I then compared my post with the post of Mr. Unheard , i found the difference , mine ended with “_t.jpg” :person_facepalming: , i thought maybe “t” means thumbnail.?
Unheard’s has “_b.jpg” . I don’t know what “b” means here, but for next image I changed the _t with _b and it shows higher res image
Here’s what I’ve got so far. I’m still learning, hopefully this will be useful for other people learning/trying to post image on BLF.
I created Flickr account yesterday, for the sole purpose of posting image on BLF. Free account can have 1000 images (or is it 999?). I uploaded a few images for testing. Created “Album” , etc, etc, etc …
That’s the EASY part.
Next, how to actually shows the image on blf post??? It was a huge and complicated puzzle to me. I tried with Flickr and failed. I tried with my Google Drive and Google Photo and it’s even worse/waaay mooooore COMPLICATED.
So I got back to Flickr. Following good advices in this thread. Tanks so much guys …
I’m on my phone. It maybe easier on PC / laptop. It’s doable on phone.
With Firefox browser on an Android phone:
Open budgetlightforum.com, etc, etc .
Open Flickr (also on Firefox browser on my phone) . Several tabs of blf.com and several tabs of flickr.com .
The key is Page Source .
On Flickr : open album, select one image.
Click “three-dot thingy” on top right corner of Firefox browser , click “Page” , then click “View Page Soure”.
Then new tab opens . There’re hundreds of lines. Click “three-dot thingy” again, click “Find in page” , to find the image file name, type “.jpg” in the “search” field , and I find something like this :
Unfortunately imgur.com doesn’t work at all. I can’t even open imgur.com on my browser.
……
With Google Drive I can’t get the “Page source” .
With imgur, Unfortunately I can’t even open imgur.com on my browser .
Also, when I read posts on blf, many posts with images from imgur often don’t display the images. Only empty boxes (rectangular). I knew it’s imgur from when i click and “Open in new tab” the new tab/page (… imgur.com … ) is also blank .
Sometimes they show images , and next day they don’t. I think the problem is on my browser not in those posts.
……
So for now, Flickr is the only way for me. Free account. Only 1000 images, I think that’s definitely more than enough for me.
……
Again, thanks very very very much for the tutorial and advices in this thread.
Now I feel I’m more blf than yesterday
