Add Free Image Host Buttons 

DUE TO PAST ISSUES WITH IMGUR IT'S RECOMMENDED TO USE
PHOTOBUCKET AND TINYPIC

Screen-shot


Go Admin - Structure - Layout Templates - Posting Page


And Look For

$[options]


And replace that with the code below to add the two free image host buttons


SO IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS


<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><button>Photobucket.com</button></a><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><button>Tinypic.com</button></a>$[options]


Note the button links go before $[options]


This uses the two most popular free image host

Photobucket & Tinypic

Clicking on the buttons will open a new Tab Page

Before I add this code - is it possible to add a 3rd image host. I use image shack and assume others do too
so it would be good if it could be added.

This is a great help!
I wanted to add a Image Host Buttons using tinypic.com since I opened my forum, but did not know how.

I just switched the URL in the code you privided to tinypic.com and I finally have the host image button I really wanted!

Thank you

PB does not encourage necroposting.

I call that over the top.

"PB does not encourage necroposting."

You're are deeply connected to PB, I get that.

I'm in this community for a couple of days. I discovered that the mentioned site was down the day before. There was the article about the image hosting that was interesting and the site was mentioned.  When that site was down already for a while, do you allow that site to be mentioned as a good alternative?

New readers (like me) make an assumption of professionalism and assumed that a mistake is made. For that reason I responded to that. And I did it in a not-aggressive and confrontational way.

I really don't have any intention to "necropost" anything.

wimvincken Please take note of the posted date — this thread is over five years old. It's generally accepted that an old thread is likely to contain old information and for that reason, it's best to let it be pushed out of view. This is why necroposting is discouraged. It's understandable if you weren't familiar with the concept of necroposting until now.

In the future, if you find that user-generated content is out-of-date, it's preferred to leave it as-is. It's not possible to keep every thread (482,918 as of this post) updated as new information becomes available, that's just not the nature of forums. You're always welcome to create a new thread if you have something to share.
