POSTING PHOTOS

Lowrider · 7 Dec 2006 at 18:05

I've seen some great photos and would like to post some of my own. I have tried to find instructions on how to do this but got nowhere. Please could you give me some simple instructions - I'm not a computer buffy - need to know the resolution the photos should be taken originally, and how they get posted or attached to the forum. Thanks.

Host the image on some webspace or on a site like www.imageshack.us

Then, you want to copy the link and place it in IMG tags... like this...

Captured resolution doesn't really matter, go to www.imageshack.us and upload your pictures at whatever resolution your camera captured them at, but post the thumbnail link not the direct one when you come to making a post. I tend to start a new thread, upload image, copy and paste thumbnail url, go back on imageshack, upload next image, copy and paste thumbnail etc. until all pics are uploaded. There is a limit of how many pictures you can have per post though, so every four pictures make a post, then add another.

Thanks - I'll get going on that - any other guidance welcome.

use photobucket instead, imageshack has pop-ups when you visit the site through a link

(and that makes me maaaad)

.

I pity the fool who wants pop-ups

direct links are fine though

'course, those of using a decent Internet browser (say, one that doesn't have a blue 'E' logo) don't have any trouble with pop-ups....

A decent version of the blue-E brigade software will also have no problem with pop-ups.

Does a decent version of it actually exist? I'll admit that I haven't tried IE7 yet, maybe they did vastly improve things.

At any rate, we're veering slightly OT here

Suffice to say, I use two places to put up pics - Imageshack, or tinypic. I use Imageshack for larger stuff, as tinypic always times out for me when I try and upload something particularly big.
