Unable to post pictures

[clt80]

Hello, can anyone help.

I've posted pictures previously, but today it says my ip is blocked and the site is unable to load my pictures?

Thanks!

Are you trying to upload with Proboards, as in Add Image to Post button?

[clt80]

Yes I am clicking on add image to post button, it lets me find my picture, and attempts to upload it but then near the end says I can't as my ip is blocked? Am I doing something wrong ?

[OP]

No you are not doing anything wrong. The Postimage.com that hosts the images are playing around. Are you able to use tinypic.com? It is also free to use and a lot less unsafe than Postimage who are redirecting connections quite a lot. I personally have lost faith in Postimage.com. So if you can use an alternative you may have better luck.

I'm sorry if Post image is playing up

I don't have any control over it, it's an external site, I just used a plugin.

Unfortunately if I want to enable direct uploads to the forum I have to pay a monthly subscription and I cannot afford to do so.

I have an imgur.com account that I use sometimes, I find them to be reliable.

Thanks.

I went to the tinypic.com site, but if I upload my pics to there, how do I get them on the website here ?

there should be a line of code that says "direct link" or something like that.

You need to post that between [img] [/img]

you can test it on this thread.
