Post an Image

To save on storage and server resources, Ute Hub does not allow users to upload images to the site. Images from other websites can be displayed here by using the image URL.

  1. Find an image to post on a website like twitter, instagram, flickr etc.
  2. On a Mac (one mouse button or track pad) hold down the control key then click the image to open the image menu. Select “copy image address.” On Windows right-click the mouse on the image to open the menu and select “copy image address.” This copies the image’s URL.
  3. In the Ute Hub text editor click on the ‘img’ button. The image button may say “IMG” or may look like an icon of a mountain.
  4. Paste the image URL into the popup window.
  5. Optional: Add image description.

NOTE: This site is smart enough to resize the image for the size of the user’s window. No matter the size it will not break the site layout so there is no need to worry about the image width. That said, posting gigantic images is not recommended because they will load slowly. Generally JPG images up to 1200 pixels in width should be fine.

Image files will end with .jpg or .png.  If the file you are trying to attach does not end with either .jpg or .png the image will not post.

Change Public User Name

Ute Hub has a few different types of user names.  The public user name is what other users see, and can be different than the login or real name.  Due to users abusing the option to change usernames, and thus fake posts by other users, changing the public user name may now only be done by an admin.

Change Login Name

Please contact an admin to change the login name. This name must be unique and have no spaces.

Delete Account
