Yeah, I can see that your image exists, but photobucket is massively blurring it for me (just a big white smear with a little red blob and some black streaks). Like Robert, I too use Imgur (for free). Here is my workflow if you find it useful:

1. Upload image to Imgur.
2. Click the three-dots icon on the just-uploaded image.
3. Choose "Get share links."
4. Click the "Copy Link" link next to the BBCode (Forums) version of the URL.
5. Back on TrekBBS, toggle your in-progress post to raw-BB-code mode by clicking the [ ] icon.
6. Paste the URL.
7. Toggle [ ] again to return to regular mode and see how the in-message image looks.
8. To change image size, alignment, etc. click on the image and use the popup toolbar. If you don't see the toolbar in a long message, you may need to scroll it more into view before clicking.

The Roman89,
I cannot see it. Photobucket makes you pay to host images. I use Imgur exclusively to bypass this problem. I’m looking forward to seeing your results.

Just an FYI, the UK has banned access to the ImgUr domain due to unrestricted ChiMo imagery on that platform. I’ve moved over to ImageChest for hosting.

unrestricted ChiMo imagery

Please explain this term. (Google was no help.)

Ah, of course. Thank you. I got stuck on thinking the first word would be China...

Now I feel gross that I've started putting images there for TrekBBS. I generally use postimg but it's not on the approved list.

I was on there too. Had hundreds of images that took several days to move. It was a thick slice of P.I.T.A. bread but it feels good to be away from it. That, plus they really screwed up the interface so that it’s damn near impossible to get to the image repository, which was the whole purpose of its original existence. ImgChest is back to basics.

Thanks 137. I think I’ll start hosting from there instead.

Just opened ImgChest… oh what a terrible day to have eyesight… There was a whole lot of stuff on the frontpage (sorted by most popular of all things!) that I do not wish to describe here…

Anyway, does Image Hosting on there work similarly to Photobucket? As in I upload an image and then generate a link, that I can copy into my message here? I would prefer not to completely derail this thread, but my newbie status does not yet allow me to send private messages.

Yeah the homepage does have some questionable stuff on there. You can upload multiple images -up to 20 at a time I think. Once there you can click on the thumbnails to view full size, copy and paste the links into an IMG tag. Several caveats, though, when you upload the images in chunks they get packaged up in … well… packages that you need to click down an extra level to get to the thumbnails. Further, if you want to categorize your images, they have only a limit of 5 folders, so you need to get really creative with the organization. Each image hosting service has its pros and cons. This one has them too. But at least nobody’s blocking them. Yet…

Thank you for the reply. Just wanted to make sure before creating an account.
I spent my day off today with 12 hours of scaling and drawing the Bridge plans Robert posted throughout the thread.
I thought frontloading the work with the Bridge was a good idea… well, let’s say that was a stupid idea…
I redrew all of the Main View Screen, began on the floorplan, the Handrail and Trim and began work on the console profile.
However I noticed that the height from the deck level to the ceiling is not equal on the Main View Screen Plan compared to Console Profile. Even when I subtract the 1 inch gap that was added in the latest revision. Was there a newer status of the Main Viewer than Sept 13th 2018? Maybe I made an error, but if so, than I haven‘t found it yet…
Maybe I‘ll continue with the corridor or Briefing Room tomorrow hoping that it will be easier

Wow... So, another "con" with ImgChest. They just wiped out ALL my animated gif's (and I had a LOT), as well as ALL my Star Trek images. I don't know if there's an overall file size limit or what, but there was no message as to where they went or if they were deleted or why. They also have this weird algorithm in there, deciding if something is "NSFW", and none of what I uploaded is "NSFW". Shit... nothing works like it should anymore.

I can relate to that so much… everything that used to be simple and quick has become a frustrating struggle…
