You can host the picture on a site like imgur.com and then link the picture here.

You can upload to this forum directly. Look up top.

A question, if I may. When linking to imugr does one link to the album or simply copy across the bbcode? I may be misunderstanding how it works, and imugr is the only picture site I use right now, though I am new to that too.

 

Many thanks,

I use flickr and post the link of the image between two image tags like:

[ img ]link goes here [ /img ]

^

The tags between the brackets have to be without spaces. If I had posted it without, the tags would've simply disappeared.

If using Imgur it is ultra easy: bring up one photo you'd like to link to and click on it. In the floating window that pops up you see a series of links on the right, with buttons to the right of them that say "copy". I use the second one, "direct link", click on copy (which puts the link in your clipboard) then come back to FPN. Click on the "Image" icon, and in the "Image properties" floating window, simply click in the "url" input box and paste the link (Ctrl-V for PC).

 

When on Imgur, note at the bottom of the floating window you'll see you can choose different sizes - it may not change your view there, but it puts a different size photo in the link you copy. This makes a difference, as some forum/sites auto-resize photos, and others don't. If they don't, this helps you avoid photos that are too large or too small.

 

It is about 254% easier to do than all the typing I just did!

Here's an Omas Extra I converted to use an old Waterman Red flexible keyhole nib. It's a smoooooth operator. And probably for sale soon.

Never cared for grey inks until recently. I think this ink and pen make a great combination.

Similar but so different.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU for linking to this wonderful "How To," and many, many THANK YOUs to Wim for creating it. Now, I understand the Upload and will likely use it at least as often as "Attach" in the msg editor.

Thanks Parker . Nice to see your artwork over at the pen art thread too.

Art can mean different things to different people. To me this page of writing . . . is art

 

There's something in the formation of your letters that hints at, and reminds me of, Chinese or Japanese style Kanji.

 

Thank you for continuing to share.

Ooh, like <3

 

Speaking of fountainpen art, that is my current outdoor sketching kit, including a Lamy AL-Star currently equipped with a fine nib and inked with sailor black nanoink.

I'm very satisfied with that choice because I don't have any emotional bonds to that pen and a replacement in any case.

Latest additions to my little collection, Pilot Vanishing Point (Carbonesque Green), along with a new 6 pen wrap.
