is there a way to post instagram pix on RC?

Gary Majchrzak · 04/13/2019, 07:36 AM

all of my previous pix posted on rc hosted on photobucket-
but they're still asking for money over there

Morning Gary, I don't know about Instagram. Since the PB thing, I've moved to Imgur.

maybe I'll follow suit.
It would seem logical to me that Instagram or a similar hosting service allow you to share here- but what makes any sense nowadays?

Can't one just use the "postcard" / Insert Image icon to post pix from any where?

I have no idea. I don't tweet or Instagram. I tried Imgur and Flickr. Imgur was easier.

But then again, I'm old.

I understand what you're saying.
When doing this it put the url of my Instagram pic inside the img tags but no picture on RC

I use Flickr. It's free, and I get a decent amount of hosting space plus a few minor benefits that are occasionally useful. I like that I can easily get a resized image to post or download a copy of my original file at full size. I might have to check out imgur though.

Only if, somewhere, there is a URL to the photo ending in ".jpg" or some other extension.
