Q: simplest way to put photos on internet for TR

Photo upload now appears to be enabled for both July and August TRs. Thank you!

Mikerolfs photobucket difficulty highlights the need for direct uploads to TAY. If TAY is the photo host, as long as TAY exists, TRs will have images. They're extremely useful when planning trips, and will have increasing use when negotiating access issues in the future. To say that "backcountry skiers have been skiing location X for more than two decades, look here's a photo!" is powerful.

Thanks again!

Thanks for fixing the July Pics!

As demonstrated at the Turns-All-Year meetup on August 3rd, Ben and I are getting ready to roll-out a new trip report "post photo function" for the existing web site that will make it dead simple to include photos in a post here.

What that means is that Turns-All-Year will be hosting the photos, so they can theoretically exist forever. They will be taking up space that cost the TAY community, that means YOU, or future TAY web site sponsors actual money.

The other good news is that we are reusing the photo upload functionality from the new web site for what I described above, so it will look familiar when the new web site is rolled out.

During the trial period of the photo hosting project, we will be looking at the operating costs, and seeing if we can make this sustainable for the community and sponsors to cover.

Stay tuned for future updates regarding Patreon membership or similar! 

Try flikr.com.  I've been using it for years personally and for my website storage. There is also an app you can download for your phone to send them to your flikr account.

Anybody know which part of a Google photos sharing URL needs to be posted in the "add images tag"? I tried to create a TR (who does that anymore?!?) and the pics were coming up w/ a ? in the middle of a box. I tried deleting the http: bit, but that didn't work. Maybe the pixel size is too large? This site is a dinosaur in so many respects, which I find mostly lovable, but not when posting pics.
