Photo Posting on MTJ

Postby bob turner » Sun Nov 16, 2025 3:04 pm

As Martin has pointed out, this forum doesn't really support photos.

Here is what I did:
First, I got an account on Shutterfly. I think you can visit my account for free:
https://photos.shutterfly.com/folder/20286160909

Then I transfer my photos to Shutterfly. You simply click "upload photos" and follow the logical prompts. You can upload more than one at a time by holding the Ctrl key while clicking your photos.

Then the rest is simple - pick a photo you want on MTJ, click the plus sign on the top right, and on the larger image, right click.
You will get a menu - choose the one that says "copy image link"

You are almost done. See the Img button, ninth from the left on the line above your post block? Click that, and you will see

"Img/img", only in brackets. It won't let me post that, but I can see it in my post prior to submitting it.

Before you do anything else, click "paste" (on my computer it is "Ctrl v"). That will insert the link you copied from Shutterfly inside the Img brackets.

Then simply post.

This is what it will look like if you do not have the proper link:

[img]bad%20link%20https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-PNsoTmjg5ERwYdyJK2nnTU4PbJCADm4kNk3Vd5RrK2RwXHawoENDER69WNoO1JU14xJ2Twu75QF_jizMkB1ZdA?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=1645297257[/img]


Here it is without the "bad link" thing I inserted to inhibit the posting of the photo:

One more thing - you can also view my SP Steam book for free. Here is a link for that:

For 3 photo posting options look at the, look at the Forum Support section of the forum.

I have Shutterfly as well and do it the same basically.

I leave MTJ open during this process and toggle between the two screens. After coping the "image address" of the photo I want to post, I toggle back to MTJ and hit the "Img" box from the top tool bar and place the copied Shutterfly "image address" between the [img][img] brackets and it's done...ready to preview or submit.
