Yeah, they're nice, but you can't click to zoom into them, as it takes you to the 8upload site, which you then need to sign up for

I got in into it from 8upload.com without signing up. But no zooming? Oh, well I never tried zooming forum photos before either.

Postimage is working again in Germany anyway but under the new domain Postimage.cc not *.org. But still blocked in the UK due to OSA like with Imgur.

Hi PB!
It's now 22:47 here and I just solved the problem by removing the URL data line plus the end cap of [url] leaving only the [img] data string in my post.

Here is an example:

Code: Select all

 {URL=https://8upload.com}{IMG]https://8upload.com/image/68dc4988e12fc/Fluffy_Kohlmeise_-_30._Sept._2025.jpg{/IMG}{/URL}
Becomes:

Code: Select all

{IMG}https://8upload.com/image/68dc4988e12fc/Fluffy_Kohlmeise_-_30._Sept._2025.jpg{/IMG}
Of course I used {} brackets instead of [] so my example doesn't run here.

Now you can klick on my photos and down load them as normal.
Good Night! 🐦💤✨🌙💫

Well Kev may aswell delete all my posts and free up some space as they look rather ridiculous now without pics, especially to any new members 🙄

Yes, I feel for you Linda as you have so many photos. They may be blocked in the UK but I can see all of them here in Germany. I'm now in the process of reinserting the photos in all my posts here as well as on 'BirdForum'.

But I've now switched to 8upload.com for my photos; give it a try!

Can anyone please tell me if all of my photos in my thread 'My Balcony Bird World' are still visable in the UK from pages 1 to 7?
Thanks!
