Sticky -- How to Post Images

xing · PostJan 12, 2006#12006-01-12T04:51+00:00

First thing you need is a host for your images. http://www.imageshack.com is easy and free, but others are available.

After you get a host, right click the image and copy the location of the image.

After you do that, come back to the forum, and when you make a post, click on the "Img" button on the right, just below the subject box. Paste into that. Now repeat this for each picture. Yes , it will take awhile for the first couple, but it'll be 2nd nature after some time.

The URL is the link of the image that comes up after you right click an image and click properties.

Before you Submit your post, it should look something like this, but with your photos addresses in place. Spaces aren't a requirement, but it's in your best interest to have some sort of divider between each.

Thanks for info. Do you have any tips for posting/creating my own avatar? I've tried doing it with imageshack, but no luck.

Dude, you just upload it to the site on your profile page...

Yes, I've tried various times and its not working. It says "must be j-peg" and it is in j-peg.

If it's the right size and dimension then that is strange. Try converting it to another format and back to jgp with photoshop, crop it to 80x80pixles and weboptimize it to under 6kb. If that doesn't work then something very strange is going on.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try again

I notice it's a bit difficult on here as well. If you need help, just message me, or post your image here, and ill try my best to set everything up for you. It can be a bit picky about the size and format.

The actual address to imageshack is http://www.imageshack.us/

Imageshack.com is a portal, with lots of advertisements, and no uploading functionality.

Is it possible to link to a picture from yahoo photos, or am I wasting my time?

how do you increase the size of pics?

Alex Ihnen · PostAug 10, 2007#132007-08-10T18:31+00:00

^ I use Picasa - it may not be the easiest, but it does have an option to choose the size of the photo you're linking to.

Is Facebook a qualified host for images to then post here?

MattnSTL · PostMar 05, 2008#152008-03-05T02:57+00:00

I think it may work, but I have never tried. Just do a test post on this thread, and we will find out.

The image box looks like progress, but I can't get it to "Show Picture" when I right click it.

I'm trying to use Flickr to post images, but it doesn't seem to work. I copy the source and then put it in between the "Img" link but it says it can't recognize the size of the image? anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
