All Photobucket has stopped publishing the pictures on here and now request a monthly fee for that service - what are you guys using as service for displaying your pictur s ?

I just search the album on Amazon and then right mouse click 'copy location of this image'  and past that into 'insert/edit image'.

Regards, Jeroen.

Yes, me too seems to work fine.

If not purchased via them, I just copy image url right click copy image location & use insert/edit image from wherever I buy from.

Used iPicit.net for some time now. Also has broken - so I will move again to something new...

Looks like the problem with Photobucket has hit me too now.  Seemingly Photobucket's free service now doesn't allow 'third party hosting' and it wants paying to allow it. Guess I'll need to explore other options now too.

I use Imgur.

Upload any pic to Imgur; copy the direct link (ending .jpg etc) and paste in the insert image box.

Works fine. Free.

Same here, I switched to Imgur after I got annoyed with all these ads on Photobucket.

Is there a list somewhere of which third-party photo hosting sites are supported in this forum? I have already tried to insert urls from dropbox and google photos without success. And is there a way to upload photos from an iPhone?

The flickr app can be set to autosync photos taken on an ipad/iphone.

from the flickr app you can get a direct http link to use for posting photos.

I got the email this morning from Photobucket saying I would now have to pay for third party hosting. Ah well, I suppose that over the next few weeks the what are you listening to thread will turn into pages of little blue squares and become a game of guess the album from the text. I'll try the app suggested above, like Bert I don't want to use a computer if I can use phone/tablet.

Ipicit has timed out twice trying an upload, I'll give it another go tomorrow, if not imgur beckons.

I've now switched to imgur. Early days but my first link seemed to work. I won't miss those dreadful (and often crude) pop-up adds on Photobucket.

Yeah, Photobucket used to be amazing. Wish they've taken profiting differently.

I use an app called SkyPath on my iPad to host pics. Has worked well with no annoying ads but occasionally I notice pics I have posted on the Music Room disappear but some tapping and refreshing usually brings them back.

Testing Imgur 

 

Looks like it works - at least for now.  An use that for all posts which have a picture which is not on Amazon or Qobuz....
