How to share a photo so youse all can see it?

Dec 31, 2017 34 Replies

Hi All,



I have a lovely photo of an isolating switch single gang double pole probab ly). I want to get it off the wall, but can?t see how to (no visibl e screws).



I was going to share a photo in case anyone recognised the type & could adv ise...,,,



But I can?t figure out how to share the photo on Flickr (just set u p an account)



I?ve tried both Safari on my phone, and downloaded the IOS Flickr a pp, but it?s about as user friendly as a cornered rat!



Any pointers greatly appreciated.



TIA



Chris


Never tried Flickr; setting up an account on any image-sharing site is unnecessary if you just want to post the occasional pic to the big wide world. I used to use tinypic, but it stopped working for me, so now I use imgbb

Doesn't O2 offer some sort of cloud storage service?

If you have a google account, Google drive offers cloud storage, having put something there you can just share a link.

If you are using Windows, MS has OneDrive which is similar.

Plenty of hardware suppliers (e.g. Apple, Acer) have some free cloud space.

I stayed in a house in Scotland where the light switches were wooden, with a glass front, a sort of stick through the middle made the connection:

Go back and take better pictures. ;-)

I wonder if the house had a DC supply when those were installed?

Upload it to the diy wiki... drop me an email if you want an account.

Imgur.not as invasive and dictatorial as dropbox.

yep

that describes every site that I have discovered too

An interesting thought. I think they said they had originally had their own hydro powered generators from the water coming off the hillside behind. That would make the switches different?

It was here:

and in fact there are some better pictures of the light switches on that page.

I'm using that too now. Since Photobucket decided to charge a fortune for third party hosting.

I would have thought so.

Ta, I'll look later.

Haven't you all got some 'free web space' that comes with your ISP account? Just stick the picture up there.

I think you have to have not moved ISP for well over a decade to stand much chance of having webspace ... or be using one of the good but expensive ones.

Maybe! :-)

I'm just used to having space 'out there' that comes with various accounts I have with various providers.

I use the attachment feature that my newsreader (Free Agent) provides. I've attached an image to this message.

Altogether now ... Oh no you haven't!

But even if you did most news servers will now drop messages with binary attachments.

And Eternal September has quietly deleted it Usenet is text only

Oh yes, he has! (attached an image, that is.) :-)

A case in point

because someone I was following in TA had posted their pictures on Instagram I now have an account

This looks good I thought, no flipping annoying flashing ads, no insistence that I display my real name. How do I upload my photos to share?

I'm buggered if I can find out what to do

All that seems possible is that I download an app onto my phone and it saves pictures that I take with that. But I take my pictures with a REAL camera FFF
