I just upload them directly to vibe using the attach option below. Always works well for me.

I've used Imgur for years and it's pretty solid tbf.

What's the advantages over just uploading them direct?

I'm using FM Shots which I had to set up after imgur blocked FM Scout for excessive bandwidth usage. I'd say it's as easy to use as imgur, except it requires a free member account.

Having your uploaded images organized in albums the way you want, which enables you to easily find older material.

Habit mostly but as I write offsite it means I can format whatever I'm writing and add in the image links as I go etc. In fairness I've only used the Vibe method once and I posted one image so I can't really say how they compare but C+P links is what I'm used to. When Vibe started image hosting I believe all images could be seen which didn't work for me as I often share "spoilers" and stuff via PM so I just stuck with using Imgur. 

Like Stam said stuff like being able to organise things is also nice but I've been slipping in that regard on Imgur for a long time haha. I tend to organise on my PC but when they're organised on Imgur it can be handy to find an needed image when away from the PC. I also like to clear my device of images often so it means I can do that once they're backed up on the PC and still have access to them. 

This is a career posting guide I wrote ages ago but I talk about how I organise stuff and image hosting etc.

I store the images on my pc and C+P straight into vibe when I add an article or post. I haven't ever thought of using imgur.

In general, we prefer having images hosted on site - it prevents stuff getting lost in the future. Just take a look at older forums around the internet and all the Photobucket links which are now broken due to their new "pay to access" system. We don't want that to happen here.

 

If you want to find old attachments you have uploaded here to reuse, then click on the "Insert other media" button underneath the text area, then "Insert existing attachment", where you will find a list of every image you have ever uploaded.

Sadly that's already happened here to an extent. I know @BatiGoal had an issue with a load of his images disappearing from 2016-17

I used Photobucket in the PSP days and all my images are lost from that time tbf and I lost the back ups as well.

I used photobucket for all my screenshots on here for years.

Recovered some of them actually and I still have access to those pics but not too bothered tbh as most are careers. Still if there's an article out there someone likes to read I'll 'heal' it in half an hour or so. I'm on Imgur now but will probably upload straight to Vibe to avoid another "photobucket" episode.

Photobucket is bad, avoid at all costs.

Can you upload a bunch of career screenshots as a batch to vibe and do they have to be displayed on the forum somewhere before you can select them?

I've been having quite a lot of issues trying to add images directly into posts here at vibe. They show up OK in my browser when I have posted them but aren't visible from other browsers or mobile. 

Is it a file-size thing, or something else that I'm missing?
