Photo Posting on Yotatech Using Yotatech's Photo uploader
As many of you have found out that on June 27, 2017 Photobucket.com decided to change their terms of service to charge $399/ year to link pictures to third parties (Forums Like Yotatech, TTORA etc)
Most people are not gonna pay that so here is a quick and dirty how to that Old87yota made to show how to use Yotatech's photo uploaded

I am not an expert at this, but here is how I upload pictures to YotaTech. I am using a Windows 10 computer but a Mac computer should be virtually the same.
Uploading pictures from your computer is pretty simple.
Click the mountain scene icon.
You will see this screen next. To upload a picture, Click "browse your device" or drag and drop your picture onto this screen. (If you have previously uploaded the picture to Yotatech, whether in a thread or to your albums, you can click the "My albums" link to find it) I will admit, I have not used the Albums feature much so I cannot comment on that yet.
Find your picture(s) and click "open".
This is what it looks like after you open your pictures. You can type photo captions in the "Say something about this photo..." box if you want. For these pictures, I am just typing in the regular "reply to thread" box between the pictures I have inserted. When everything on this page looks good, click the green "Insert" button on the upper right corner. Your picture should now be inserted in your post.
I still need to play around with the gallery and albums feature. It seems to be useful to arrange your pictures and saving them for future posts, but as I said, I haven't used it much yet.
This is just a quick and dirty post to get you going. Announcement threads like these might get deleted because they will become "old news".
I plan on posting a "how to" once I figure everything out if no one has yet. I want to create a thread or have the mods edit the old sticky on how to post pictures on Yotatech, for future use and future members. Currently, it says to use a photo hosting site, and shows how to use Photobucket.
How do you guys think this will hold up when threads become dated. Recently while searching for things it's hard to find threads that don't have dead pics. Makes almost impossible to get past the usual "search" comment but you gotta do what you gotta do. Ive been using the upload feature and like it a lot more than linking pictures but I'm concerned about yotatech serves killing old picture threads that it hosts.

So far, I have not seen any pictures that were hosted through YotaTech become dead. I am pretty sure YotaTech will not kill old pictures. That would be shooting themselves in the foot.
Every dead picture I have come across was from changes in the third party hosting. For instance, links get renamed and don't get updated in the thread, pictures get rearranged on the third party site and breaks the link, or the account holder of the third party site closes their account and breaks the link. Most of the dead pictures came from photobucket because that what most people used (many pictures were dead even before photobucket's "business" move).
How long has yotatech been hosting for? I know they have for the simpler things like profile pics and the like but I didn't know about actual threaded images. I'm just hoping the server's hold up for the long term when bandwidth gets higher from photo hosting. I'm not sure how it's done but I'm sure yotatech is through a web host provider so it'll probably be pretty well taken care of. I just hate searching for stuff and finding so many good threads with dead pics. It seems like almost all of them are these days.

Internet Brands, Yotatech's owners, own over 100 forums. They have a huge amount of servers. Yotatech been hosting pics for a few years now.
I had 13 years of threads get hosed by greedy oxygen thiefs at photobucket.
