Anyone else also affected by the latest policy change on Flickr?

I just use imgur, but that's due to my long time use of reddit.

This wouldn't be the first time an image hosting site has rendered entire threads on fountain pen forums next to useless.

This is why I prefer to upload directly to the site and avoid third party hosting like the plague.

Sure, but we can't upload directly to this forum, correct? It has to have a .jpg URL for it to show up. Unless you're referring to i.reddit where you can upload directly to reddit, but that's only one image for the post. You would still need a third-party image host for formatting your images into a review or post, yes?

Of course you can upload directly to this site. Valid file extensions are: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png psd txt zip

No you don't need a third-party image host. We can easily upload images directly to FPG. I do that all of the time, and have pages and pages of attachments. All of my ink review images and Inktober images are uploaded via FPG. You need to click on "Go Advanced", type whatever you want in the text box, and ensure that your cursor is where you want your image to appear in your post, then scroll down to Additional Options - Attachments - Manage Attachments. Valid file extensions are: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png psd txt zip

When you click on the Manage Attachments box, a File Upload Manager box comes up on your screen. You click on Add Files, then Upload files from either your computer or your website. Click on Choose File to choose it, then Upload to upload it. Once it has uploaded, you then click on Insert Inline to attach it to your post. It will attach it where your cursor was placed after you finished typing. When you have previewed your post and submitted your reply then click Done in the File Upload Manager box.

If your file is too big and you want to adjust it, then go back to your post and delete it in there, then delete it in the File Upload Manager by clicking on the small cross in the Attachments box at the bottom of the File Upload Manager box. The adjust the size and add it again.

I find it really straight-forward compared with other sites. You can also edit or remove your Attachments. Click on your Settings - top right hand corner, and your Attachments are all down at the bottom of the left hand column. You can delete them there whenever you want. I currently have 633 attachments.

If you're in a post and want to change an image, then you use the Manage Attachments box. You need to remember to remove them from the Manage Attachments box below, as well as the File Management box, or you get broken links in your posts.
