How To Upload Images To "My Media" On My Nexus Account

[StackEmHigh]

Thank you in advance for reading this post.

 

I am having difficulty sharing some images in a private message to a friend here on the Nexus. I notice the "My Media" tab, and over the years I've received several private messages with not only images, but video links as well. I have tried using Google to find an answer to my dilemma with no success. I apologize for asking this question that is somewhat embarrassing to me after being involved with the community for as long as I have - I need to know this, so it's better to ask late than to never ask at all.

 

I would like to add images to my "Images" folder within my profile, so that I can share them with others of my choosing.

 

Thank you - I appreciate your time, and look forward to any replies.

 

Sincerely,

EDIT (Solved, somewhat):

 

Thank you to a member named Al3ern1ty. He had an answer as follows:

 

You are better off uploading images to your own Nexus images gallery instead of other sites.

 

For two reasons :

 

a ) You can be reasonably sure so long as nexus is up your images will also still be here ( although occasionally site / server / url changes can mess up even on site images .. thats a rare occasion, in the last 8 years I think I have had to relink mod description images say three times, and those were due to the site needing to have major overhauls due to greatly increased popularity of the site and the amount of visitors / attacks )

 

b ) Its bad form to be using someone elses paid for site bandwidth to store images for use on another site. Every time this site requests to display your images the other site is footing the bill for that. Dark Creations is a hobby site funded privately and not for a business, so you are using the money of a hobby site to support another site = Not good netiquette

 

 

If you need to display images on one site, always try to store them on the same site. With Nexus you can create your own mod pages full of images which can be linked in many ways, or as mentioned just have your own gallery, then right click on an uploaded image to open it in a new tab ( this way you get the on site image url in that tabs address bar, which you can then copy / paste elsewhere on site as a link )

 

......what I would like to know is how to create my own gallery here, if possible. Does one need to be a Premium Member? Thank you for any input you may have, and your time.

Click on your Profile picture top right, go to My mods, Images Tab, Add an Image, not sure about if you can add folders.
