    help with pic posting

    When I try to post a pic, I cant it says size exceeded or something like that. The blue bar on the upload box say 2mb of 2mb used. Is there a way to clear out the old pics in there?
    Any help would be appreciated, I am not overley skilled when it comes to computers.

    When you click the image icon, then click 'from URL'.. then uncheck the box that says reference locally.

    Stop using the site for uploading pictures and use a free upload site. You will have higher quality images, and most of the sites are easy to use. I'm currently using Flickr and Tumblr, with both being free and Tumblr being easier to use.

    Old thread, but there don't seem to be any free hosting sites anymore. Nothing seems to work for me.
    I'm using Android, not a desktop, so manually typing in links isn't really feasible.
    Thoughts? Ideas?
    Photobucket used to be perfect, as you could copy the forum IMG link, but that no longer works.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas, Stick.
    Thanks

    Created a tumblr account, BUT can't figure out how to share a picture on m4. Any words of wisdom?

    No idea about tumblr, but I switched to imgur after the photobucket situation. It was kinda funky to figure out at first but then imgur switched to a style similar to photobucket.

    Simple upload & simple link retrieval from my android without using any apps.

    Once the picture is uploaded to tumblr, click on your image so it becomes full size. Then right click on your mouse, and you should see an option to copy the image location. Copy the image location, and then click the pic box on M4C and paste the image location, unclick the box.... and you are all done.
