If i copy and paste from a website, like say google photos. After a while my pics go away and to a red X. The link to the pic is something like http://mmb.maverick.to/proxy.php?image=https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/8TTT72GEM.......... How can I avoid this? Do I have to upload media to the gallery? Is it enough if I copy the pic to my local machine first like in snipit or paint.net? thanks.
Over time, images that are hosted on other sites may be moved or deleted and that would explain the red X. Best way to avoid this is to upload the files direct to the MMB. This can be done by uploading the images to a thread or to the Media Gallery. Here are some guides on the different ways attachments can be added to the MMB http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/adding-media-to-the-media-gallery.15529/ http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/adding-gallery-media-to-forum-posts.100508/ http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/how-to-upload-pictures-when-posting.23262/ Depending on the browser, you may be able to "paste" images from Snippet or paint.net into a thread.
