Uploading images, documents, videos, etc.

A lack of disk capacity caused the site to crash recently, so I've had to remove the ability to upload files, which was a privilege for subscribers. I'm not sure if I'll make this permanent — I would prefer not to upgrade to the next plan, which would give us more space for uploads — but in any case I want to advise TPF members of the alternative, which is to upload your files somewhere else and then use the resulting URL in your post.

Images

This one is good for images: https://postimages.org/

Follow the upload instructions and you'll see this:



You can use either the "Direct link" or the "Hotlink for forums". If you use the hotlink for forums, just copy it and paste it directly into your TPF post. If you use the direct link, copy it and paste it into an image tag in your post, which you can do using the image icon button:




Note: There are many similar services, e.g., https://imgur.com


Documents and other files for sharing

You can use Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or a site that doesn't require an account such as easyupload.io. Each of these will give you a link to the file (or to the download page), which can be made public if that's what you want.


Embeddable videos and audio files

As it says on the Plushforums FAQ...

Quoting Plushforums FAQ

You can embed audio and video from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, SoundCloud, Vine, Twitch, Giphy, Imgur and Voxer

If there are any subscribers reading this who now feel like cancelling their subscription, or who feel this is a substantial downgrade, let me know. I'm not being entirely sarcastic when I say that sometimes those extra two or three clicks can tip you over the edge into frustration and rage.
