Iām on my phone too.
Iām traveling far away from home, no laptop/pc.
donāt have access to my pc/laptop. :person_facepalming:
Iāll 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 ā_t.jpgā :person_facepalming: , i thought maybe ātā means thumbnail.?
Unheardās has ā_b.jpgā . I donāt know what ābā means here, but for next image I changed the _t with _b and it shows higher res image
Hereās what Iāve got so far. Iām 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 āAlbumā , etc, etc, etc ā¦
Thatās 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 itās even worse/waaay mooooore COMPLICATED.
So I got back to Flickr. Following good advices in this thread. Tanks so much guys ā¦
Iām on my phone. It maybe easier on PC / laptop. Itās 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 āthree-dot thingyā on top right corner of Firefox browser , click āPageā , then click āView Page Soureā.
Then new tab opens . Thereāre hundreds of lines. Click āthree-dot thingyā again, click āFind in pageā , to find the image file name, type ā.jpgā in the āsearchā field , and I find something like this :
Unfortunately imgur.com doesnāt work at all. I canāt even open imgur.com on my browser.
ā¦ā¦
With Google Drive I canāt get the āPage sourceā .
With imgur, Unfortunately I canāt even open imgur.com on my browser .
Also, when I read posts on blf, many posts with images from imgur often donāt display the images. Only empty boxes (rectangular). I knew itās imgur from when i click and āOpen in new tabā the new tab/page (ā¦ imgur.com ā¦ ) is also blank .
Sometimes they show images , and next day they donāt. I think the problem is on my browser not in those posts.
ā¦ā¦
So for now, Flickr is the only way for me. Free account. Only 1000 images, I think thatās definitely more than enough for me.
ā¦ā¦
Again, thanks very very very much for the tutorial and advices in this thread.
Now I feel Iām more blf than yesterday
abload.de is easier to upload images to, and somehow much simpler also to create album, etc, etc. Itās very easy to navigate.
And all types of url of every image are displayed clearly, very simple to copy the direct link of the image, hence very simple to post the image on blf.
Iām on my Android phone (I very rarely use pc/laptop) , overall much better experience with abload.de.
At first I was rather reluctant to try and use abload.de coz I donāt understand German at all . Translator came to the rescueā¦
With Firefox browser, I use āTranslate this pageā add-on, single click to translate the whole page into English, therefore no more language barrier. After a few times uploading images no need to translate the page coz itās very easy to navigate, it only takes a few simple clicks.
