Uploading photos on the nexus

[wolf8312]

Sorry guys have just spent half an hour searching and looking for an answer but I still cant figure out how to upload photos to the nexus! I typed 'how to upload photos' into the search engine and received no results, and couldnt find any info on the FAQ.

I assume I have to upload them first and then copy and paste the path into the two 'img' brackets (above) but I cant find where exactly I am supposed to upload said photos.

Thanks in advance!

When your posting click "attach file to this post" then type your text and hit post, it will bring you to an upload section, follow directions from there.

As you mentioned, you can indeeed also use the "insert image" button above ^^^ and put the copied image url in between the brackets of (img) picture url (/img). I used parenthesis in the example but you will need to use brackets for it to work properly.

Doing it this way allows you to place the photo anywhere you want in the post:

So there are a couple random pictures found from google to demonstrate the technique. To do this with your own photos, you would have to upload them somewhere on the NET first and then copy the image url.

As for where to upload your pics first: https://imgur.com/ is a decent place and it is free.

Lastly, it is important to note that some cameras, especially cell phones, often contain ways to track where the photo was taken through Geotracking or .EXIF data. To fix this, open your image in Paint and save it as a .BMP image. Then open the BMP image and save it as a .JPEG. Doing this strips the photo of its .exif data. Then you can proceed to upload wherever.

More info on geotracking:

EXIF Data and Geotagging - Can someone track you using your pictures?

I've seen a lot of concern online recently about the possibility of people tracking your physical location using the pictures you post online. This is made possible through the act of Geotagging and the EXIF data stored in images, but what's the real risk and real problem? EXIF data, simply

I dont know if the nexus still has a search engine, but you'll prolly have better luck with a DMT nexus+ " whatever you're looking for" search on googler.
