How Do I Upload Pictures?
Permalink  
 


Being new to this forum, I'm having problems uploading pictures.  Are there any detailed instructions on how to do it?  If so, where do I find them?

Also, is this the type of forum which requires a separate website to park pictures before uploading to this forum?

The avitar photo process was simple, quick and needed no instructions.  Pictures are another matter.  Please help.

Thanks,

I.S.

I use a free up loader like photo bucket. Up load them to there and then copy the image code and paste it on the forum and your pics will come up when the thread is read. I am not sure how some of these guys do smaller thumbnail pics like bob does.

for thumbnails, you can use the image uploader provided in the tool bar in the reply screen.

I prefer to use photobucket.  If you use photobucket, copy the img code that they give you after you upload your photo to photobucket, and paste that img code into your post.

Here's a short tutorial that I posted over at the NCPHA forum, to help our members:

Photos need to be 800 x 800 or smaller.  Most people use photobucket because it is so easy to use.  Here's the short version of how to use photobucket to both upload and resize your photos for posting here.



ok now here's the long version:

go to http://photobucket.com/ and sign up for an account.  when you get to the upload page, you'll want photobucket to automatically resize your photo for you when you upload it.

from the upload screen, click "more options":



Click on "800 x 600".  that size works best with forums.



click "save,"  which will take you back to the upload page.  click on upload and browse to your photo.  when you upload it, photobucket will automagically resize your photo to 800 x 600 or thereabouts.

after it's been uploaded, you'll see a thumbnail of your photo.  hover over the photo till you get the code pop-up.  copy and paste the "img" code at the bottom of the popup into your post:



that's it!

Jon, Wow you're a lot more computer savvy than I, thx for all that info, makes it easy to follow. If I tried to figure that out I'd have missed the rest of this crow season & probably a good part of next years. Thx again. Jerry

You're welcome, Jerry. 

In all my years of moderating and administering web forums, I can definitely say that how to post photos is the question that is asked the most.

Hope I've boiled it down enough for anybody to figure out.

:)
