ADDING PICS TO POSTS - For new users...

Postby Livin4Today » Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:08 am

Adding Pictures to Posts

Following the examples below should get you in a picture sharing mood, our Motto is: if there aren't any pictures it didn't happen (or doesn't exist). Hopefully this will help you new(er) folks, show us what you've got....

Sometimes that's hard flying blind, because we see things differently, for instance I have a button that is Upload picture that you don't yet have...

So we'll go back to the basic route as I remember it...

Up above this very box we type in you have an Img (Image) shortcut button that you'll bypass after you get used to the code method, mostly learned by cut and paste. Click that button and you get this

[img]Now%20place%20the%20URL%20or%20Internet%20location%20(flicker,%20photobucket,%20another%20website)%20of%20your%20picture%20that%20you%20wish%20to%20share,%20and%20close%20it%20by%20adding%20a%20slash%20before%20IMG%20as%20in[/img]

for each picture you want to share. Another way to figure it out is using the quote button on other threads with pictures to see the code that makes their pics work and copy paste and modify that before submitting your post.

That should have you thoroughly confused or at least clear as mud, here is a picture of my screen, I'm betting you don't have that Upload picture button, I hope that helps...

Kind of the same deal except you have to re-size the photo to the dimensions specified on this site (max w/h 210 pixels). And, you do not use the img tags.

At least that's how I do it using photobucket. There could be an easier method, but I seem to be good at doing things the hard way. :D

Building a capable off roader is easy, building a street legal one that you can wheel and then drive daily is the challenge...
