Posting Pictures

[obxmush]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to post picture's they have to be hosted. You will have to log on to photobucket.com , or another hosting site. Photobucket is one of the more user friendly ones. You will have to sign up(it is free). Once signd up you will see the upload photos section.(you may have to click on the "My Album" link at the top first) From there, it will have a button that says 'browse', click on that. You should end up in the 'My Photo's' section of your computer. Once the pictures are hosted by this site, they wil have a series of links under them. Where it says IMG Code, click on the word IMG Code, you will notice it say's copied very briefly. Log onto our site and in the post just paste the previoulsy 'copied' IMG Code. It will show up as just a bunch of jibberish on the page. The best way to make sure it worked properly is to 'preview' the post. Hope this is remotely helpful.

Just a side note. Each picture must be individually copied and pasted. They can be done in the same post. my recommendation is to press enter in between each one, so that it aligns them vertically on the screen.
Another interesting feature with the photobucket site is that you have a web based photo album created , which you can share with others.

easy way to post pics from any site. If you see a pic on web site you wanna post, there is a simple way.

right click on the image yo want. instead of saving it and uploading it, then post, just select properties when you right click. in properties you will see the link to the image. copy the link. in this forum insert image already has http://, so you don't need to copy that part just everything after. select insert image and paste the link. and post....

you can also type a code in all forums... <img src="link to image">

most you guys prob know but some don't. hope it helps save you time

this method will also allow the img to be the original size....
