I have been trying to find a place to post Mocs I have built from some of the designers here. (first to admit im pretty useless at anything computer related and may have missed something).

But if there isn't such a place, is it possible to add one. ? 

A place where building, even an old, moc of someone's wouldn't require a dreaded " old post bump" to show it? 

Anyway that's all I have, and if I have completely missed a spot to do this, I guess this post is mute.......

Nothing is stopping you posting them in the relevant sub-forum. Just be clear it is someone else's design and not your own. Although if there is already a thread about the MOC on here that is not too old, just add to that saying you have built it and what you think of it.

It could also be courteous to post a link in your thread to the original thread if it is much older (assuming you still have a link!) or a link to the original MOC on whichever image hosting site. That way, if others also want to comment on the original MOC, it will be on the image host comments and not bump up very old threads here on the forum. 

I believe it is acceptable to post comments on image hosts years after the fact, as you find the picture through tags and curated collections.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm getting at, I like this to be open to older mocs, newer mocs, and everything in-between.

Credit for the original should be given, but without bringing up very old posts all over again.

Ya that's what I was wondering, is what it considered acceptable, as I'd like this to involve even very old mocs. 

Maybe a link or the person's name should be included for people who would like to go back and read about it, but also not bumping a very old thread, and I'm not sure about image hosts, like an image from another site ?

On Eurobricks, the upload/attach image is not for MOC photos, it is very limited and small as we can't afford to run the site with everyone's MOC photos on the server! The upload space you have on your account is for an avatar image. Because we can't host all the photos, we encourage people to use another site like Bricksafe, Flickr etc, these are Image Hosts, then you can deeplink the pictures into your thread (Sometimes as simple as pasting the image address from the site into the post editor here). 

All MOCs shared here have photos on another website, so you could easily follow the pic to the image website and then share a link to that site from here. No thread bumping and a handy way to send people to the original build. 

There are some tutorials for deeplinking images here on the site too, though I am happy to help if you have any troubles.

Yes so I guess that sort of brings me back to creating a spot on here for this, unless individual posts for this type of thing is just fine ?

Of course, you can create a thread in the forum that is the best fit for the theme of the build. :thumbup:
