NEW TO TPF? START HERE! How to upload and post photos

Diego · Jul 29, 2006

I tried to upload my Picture via Bilder-Speicher.de, where it`s free. But it doesn`t work. I used it many times before, but this time I can`t post the picture, I only can post the link. Can anybody help me?

I subscribed to TPF this morning, partly because I wanted to upload directly from my computer...but darned if I can figure out how. Can someone help?

Your account has to be activated by an Administrator...I'm sure one of them will get to it by today.

Hi,

You may not find the activation email, the one I recieved was in my junk email. Check there

Big Mike is right - your account has to be activated, and I'm not seeing you yet on the list (just double checked). It's all pretty automatic - once you see the green "TPF Subscriber" under your name here, you'll know it's gone through.

Chickenhawk has a good idea - check your email's junk folder. It could have been misdirected. I had trouble getting set up correctly myself, many moons ago! If nothing happens by tomorrow, I'll make sure the site owner, Chase, looks into it further for you.

Thanks all. I've been checking my junk mail frequently but nothing yet!

The activation of my subscription still has not come through. Can someone here find out why? It's been 24 hours.

When you post your photos to one of the free sites do you have complete control over who sees your photos? I can you design your own webpage and layout? I currently own my website but I can not affoard the bandwidth to hotlink my photos. I do not want to have to upload my stuff to TWO sites...that takes wayyyy to much time for me to remember what photos I have where. Is there any other easier way to do this?

Some site allow you to have public or private galleries.

You could buy a subscription to this site, which will allow you to upload image directly to the forum...or use more bandwidth on your own web site.
