• Sharing a photo with DIY the group

    It's so long since I did this that I've forgotten the names of the faciliies that I used to use, years and years ago. But whatever they were, they will
    have been superseded, hence the question:

    I'd like to display a "mystery object" for the group, and get pointers to what it might be. What's the simplest and least risky way of doing this these days?


    Cheers

    Upload a photo file to something like https://imgbb.com/. It's free for limited use, and you can choose a retention time. After that time the
    file will be automatically deleted.

    If you use a Mac or iPhone the Photos app makes sharing quite straightforward. --
