Can anyone recommend a service that allows for the upload of photos, and then sharing through BBcode so I can post here? I am using a free Flickr account here, but the asking price for pro these days is somewhat ridiculous.

I don't mind paying a reasonable fee - I just don't think Flickr is charging a reasonable fee.

I do use Amazon photos for backups, but can't find a way to embed from there - if anyone knows of one, that may be a solution.

I am aware Imgur allows you to do it, but I am not keen on the box of gubbins you get around the image when posting.
 
Okay, so actually I have found I can post here from Amazon photos. The method I have found that works involves accessing amazon photos through a browser.

1. Find the image in your amazon photos that you want to link to.

2. Click on the image to select it and click on "share" at the top.

3. Select share link and copy the link.

4. Navigate to the link you copied to view the image in your browser.

5. Right click on the full size image and go to "copy image address"

4. You can them post it here with the syntax [IMG width=XX height=xx}URL of image[/IMG]

I thought even the free Flickr could share, unless they've changed. I know I could, before I got pro.

Are you implying a Pro flickr a/c is needed for the BBcode ‘cos it ain’t true, free is OK.

No, just for the number of images. I am posting using BB code from the free account at the moment, but eventually I will run out.

Anyway, I have found I can do it from Amazon using the method above!

I can't see any of those.

Looking at the above replies no one except yourself can see them so I’d double check that method before using it.

Me neither(iPad Safari).
 
Yeah, seems the links stop working if they're not accessed for 24 hours.

So as we suspected originally, Amazon is no good for posting photos using BBcode.

Back to the drawing board!
 
Why don't you just drag them here from your PC/Mac/whatever?
 
I just copy and paste them although unfortunately the file size limit is quite small

So what is the maximum number of images that you can upload to a FREE Flickr account, and where is it stated in the T&C's.
