Photos...

Do you have to pay to post a photo? I have a couple to send for you to look at and I'm not sure how to do it. Can you help me out please.

Hey, welcome, usually you can get pic hosting for free. im not to sure of the sites but the one above is a good place, i have used it once before.

 

Attaching Photos..

I found the sites that you gave me, Thank you. But my problem is I don't know how to put to post the pictures. I also have an avatar I would like to use too but I don't know how to do that either. Sorry about the lack of knowledge when it comes to these things.

 

To add an avatar:

First shrink/crop it down to no larger than 80 x 80 and upload it to your online storage space.

Click on "Profile" at the top of the page (up with the FAQ, Search, Memberlist, etc links). Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to the section called "Avatar control panel". Enter the url of the picture* where it says "Link to off-site Avatar" and click "submit".

*To get the url of your image, you can right click on it and click "Properties" in the menu that appears. There should be something called "location" or "url" (I use Mozilla, so I can't remember exactly how it's labeled under IE). Highlight that, right click and choose "copy". Then you just have to right click again and click "paste" when you want to enter the url.

To post images in messages:

Method #1: Click the "IMG" button. That will automatically insert the opening img tag. Insert the url of the image after that tag then click the "IMG" button again (the button will probably be "Img*") to close the tag.

Method #2: Simply type:

Code:

[img]*insert the image url here*[/img]

If you don't know how or can't resize your avatar, send it to me, and I'll resize and host it for you.

For your big pics, step 1 is to upload them to a site like Photobucket, that allows "linking" to posts. Have you done that? Then we can go to Step 2 and link them to your post.
