Help to post pictures on forums...

[DarkChylde]

How do you post pictures on the forums? I have tried this several times and I can't get them to even copy. But I see pics on the forums, so I know it can be done.
Thanx and blessings!

Well, let's see. I'll try and post the instructions if it works, lol.

First, upload your pictures to a web site or photo hosting site. http://www.2hottotrot.com is a fun one just for horses.

Then open your picture in that site, right click on it, and copy the URL/Address. It should look something like this:
http://www.barbarasdomain.com/main/images/photoalbum/2/brig6_14_07_web.jpg

Click on the little yellow square with mountains on it that's just belore the size drop down box in a new message window (on here).

Paste your image URL in that box that pops up and click on "OK".

Waa Laa! Picture, as below.

I'm tyring this! (Provided no thundersorms come along and I gotta unplug, darn dial-up.)
I hope I can do it this time...
Can I use my myspace page? Does anyone else?
Bright Blessings! :cool:

heh, photobucket is probably a better idea if you ask me.

[musiccraze777]

If you choose photobucket, I can tell you how to do it like I do, but if you'd rather not, as someone else already suggested a photohosting site, I'm not going to put all the directions here, hehe.

But I love photobucket. *hugs it, lol*

Hey, I am an old dog trying to learn new tricks. Enlighten me, pleeze! :confused:

[musiccraze777]

For photobucket, you go to the website, photobucket.com. After signing in, you can put pictures on there that you wish to put on other webpages (which you probably know already, but just trying to explain it so anyone can understand).

After putting your pics on there (you can have different albums, but if you do, I recommend you create them before putting your pics up...if you switch albums for your pics, you have to do the link again because it changes). Albums would make it more simple though, like if you have five horses and take loads of pics, would be easier if you have an album for each name, or if you have three kinds of pets, one album for dog pics, another for duckie pics, and a third for horses. Just examples (I have separate albums, but I got lazy, and now, I have to sift through a lot of pics...but it's your choice!)

Anyway, once you have a link, there are four little boxes below each pic with different stuff. One opens it in a separate page, and another...well, anyway, the SECOND thing you can copy is the only you want. Web address or whatever. For Myspace and stuff when I use pics from photobucket, I use this little guy < and put img src= then paste the copied code then close it. But for HERE, you open the IMG thing (tiny folder) and paste the code there.

Or you can probably just put [IMG] and the closing thing afterwards, like when you highlight something and change the size. It looks the same way anyways.

Going to see if the second method works:

(I think it will, oh and btw, it's URL link, just saw it when I went to photobucket)

I hope this helps if you decide to try photobucket.

Didn't work, dang.

but the folder one does.

[luvs2ride1979]

Didn't work, dang.


It didn't work because you didn't close the IMG tag. You have two opening IMG tags, instead of the second one with a / in front. Like this: [/IMG]
