Go here >>> https://postimages.org/

Copy the images from your device into it

Post links from there (use the preview button to ensure it is as you want it) then hit the submit button

As Berns says,but as it’s complicated,we’ll it is for me,this is how I do it.

Take the pictures you want to post.
Go to the post images sight.
Click on “Choose Images”
Click on “Photo Library “
Click on required photo.
Click on “add”,top right corner.
Then in the next window,click on the blue files(far right)on the “Hot link to forums” line.Copied will come up.
Then go to the C90 club forum and click on the screen to get the curser up.Then click on “Paste”
Then as Bern suggests,check with the “preview” button.

I haven’t yet worked out how to post more than 1 picture at a time.If anyone can I would like to know how.

I only use a laptop running Windows 10 and have various folders on Postimages, one for C90 stuff.

With both windows open I flick back and forth to copy and paste the hotlink for forums onto the post. Find it easiest to put an endline at the end of each hotlink as it makes it easier to delete one if I've made a cockup.

If you really can't get your head round it, don't despair.

For anyone that needs it, the mods can upload your photos to Postimage for you.

To do that you would email me at

capitano AT bikerider DOT com

And attach the photos in jpg form.

Try opening postimage,
Click upload,
Go to photo file,
Push & hold the control key,
Click each photo you want,
Click the upload button,
It should make an album with a single link, as in my post here >> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=38098&start=10#p335322 .. of clickable small pic's that can be enlarged by viewer

The M.O is that you first upload your images to a file-hosting site. There are lots. This is the one I use - there's a nice big 'upload' button and it's best if you create an account. All free.

https://imgbb.com

Then, having successfully uploaded an image, right-click on it to obtain the image's' web address, and then paste it into the appropriate place (this will be fairly clear when you press the 'insert image' button here on C90club).

Give it a go, it's really easy.
