How to: Post images

[Strider199]

When you want to post a picture at this forum, there is a section below where we post called, "Attach Files". Here you will see a box which says "Manage attachments".
Click on this and you will be able to down load pictures from your computer if they are the correct size.

I and others here use Photobucket because (I am lazy) and they size the pictures correctly. It is free to join there.

Does anyone know how to upload from a smartphone? I have a HTC EVO and I can click manage attachments, but then when I hit choose file nothing happens. I'm not very techie tho, so I'm prob doing something wrong. Lol.

How do you get photobucket?

Log on to their wedbsite (photobucket.com) and create a account. Follow thier instructions for up-loading your pics there and you should be fine

I thought I would add a little more detail to using URLs to post pictures on the forum. I’m using photobucket as one example as I already have an account set-up there. Other image hosting sites work just as well. There are other ways to do this this is just how I post images

Step 1:
Open your account and find the picture that you would like to post


Step 2:
Click on the photo to enlarge it on your screen



Step 3:
Right click on the image. When the drop down menu appears, click on “properties”.



Step 4
Sellect the website address for your photo in the drop down box that appeared. That would be all of the text which appears before the 3 letter file extension (including the extension). Once selected, right click on thr select text and select “copy” Do not select the text that appears after the file extension

Step 5:
Go to create a post in the forum just as you as always do. Now click on the insert image icon



Step 6:
When this new dialog box opens up, erase the text in it and past the web address for your photo in this spot and click on “OK”



Step 7 :
The web address will be automatically formatted and placed in your post



Step 8:
Click on “Post reply” and you photo will be displayed

FYI if anybody is having problems recently with pictures, I have not been able to upload any to this site for the last week. The same pictures I can upload to other forums so not sure what the problem is. Anyways, when I posted them on a remote server they worked.

Here my super 250 gallon tank if anyone wants a peek (uploaded to remote server):
