Hi everyone! I wanted to put together a quick guide on sharing images and videos in your posts, as I figured it out recently and thought it would be helpful for everyone!
As the community grows, more of us will want to share images, screenshots, construction photos and the odd funny video — and it’s really easy once you know how!
Why can’t I just upload directly?
ParkPlanner runs on a dedicated server and direct video uploads would eat through the storage very quickly. To keep the forum fast and reliable all the way to opening day in 2031, images and videos need to be hosted externally and linked here. It sounds more complicated than it is — honestly takes about 30 seconds!
Also worth knowing — Imgur is currently blocked in the UK, so here are two free alternatives that work perfectly.
For Images & GIFs — Postimages.org

Go to postimages.org, upload your image, copy the link and paste into your post. That’s it!
