In the last couple days I would write posts, attach my pictures and they would not show up. If I edit the post they would be there, but when I save the post they disappear. I walked away from the IT industry over 10 years ago and not particularly interested in troubleshooting this issue. But troubleshoot I must in order to maintain my own blog. I have been using Facebook as my depository for a lot of the pictures I put on Steemit. It has been working very well up till yesterday. I would upload the pictures onto Facebook so that only I can see them. Copy the image location and boom! Done.
That broke yesterday and I suspect Facebook is onto it. When I used another image storage site on line, it ended up working fine. So if you are having troubles with your images, consider that Facebook may be blocking you from making the link.
Just noticed this @wwf!
I wanted to see those mosquitos!!
This one computer with a old windows
OS is not showing the photo here.
The slightly not as old OS but not new
on the laptop is showing your skeeters!
And my phone shows your picture.
2 out of 3 lol
lol. Well, that is good. Better than zero out of three! I'm glad you saw the mosquitoes!
That is absolutely ridiculous! It is your picture that you uploaded on to your account.
Fb is a sh**hole....
I agree with you my friend. Care to share how you REALLY feel about Facebook? lol Don't be afraid, no judgements here for not holding back.
Haha, I am sure you can tell that I do not care for facebook one bit. The only ties I have on there is to talk to the people that I have no ways of talking to other than through there... Which is like less than once a month at times.
It is a highly negative place. Hardly do I ever see something positive. A lot of chaos on there from posts of sexual contents that leave women seen as an object, of fighting and killings, vulgarity... Lies and bullying, all on a massive scale. Freedom of speech is taken away by other people that you dont even know if their first name is what is actually written. Dare not to say what may happen if you claim to not vaccinate your child.
Fake lives, fake people, fake news. Why indulge in something with no value and no sense of unity?
I could go on. But this I am sure you know and I am sure you know more.
I've always just dragged the photo directly from where I stored it on my computer or clicked "selecting them" under the draft area on my phone and it would convert them to a web image...
Have you tried that? I never even thought of taking them from fb
I don't like using the markup features. I just prefer to use the editor instead. I worked in the computer industry for far too long and get tired of codes, programming, troubleshooting, etc. So I look for what is easy and works. lol
Thanks for the heads up, @wwf. Another reason for not liking FB as if there weren't enough before.
Sometime facebook make some problem like this..
But facebook is the best social site.
Facebook is a terrible social media site. It is so bad that I had to leave due to the censorship, authoritarian controls and blocking the vast majority of my friends from seeing my posts unless I pay. It takes the creative capacity of people like you and I and capitalizes on that for profit, control, surveillance and intelligence gathering. Sure there are lots of people on it, but it does not match my definition of what a good social media site should look like.
It is so bad that when I came here, I got more traffic and interactions with 100 followers than I did with over 2000 on facebook. That is sad indeed.
facebook is a great barrier on the way of steemit success
you can drag them from photo file and drop them into steemit.
Yeah, i think facebook are kinda protecting their images from being used by other social cites.
thanks for this information, sir...
