Step by Step Photo upload

1. click on the "host an image icon"


2 select "browse"


3 find the picture you wish to host, and click on open


4 notice that next to browse is the filename and path of your image, click "host it"


5 the box changes (be patient, it takes a few seconds to upload), and provides three address lines, select the middle one (Image) just by left clicking on it


6 now right click on the highlighted blue text, and select "copy"


7 go back to your message, hover the mouse over it and right click your mouse, selecting "paste" the address will post into the message, looking similar to this

(i made a couple of slight changes to the address line shown so that you can see it, otherwise it would have just loaded the image again!!!)

8 click on the host an image icon to get rid of the image hosting box


follow these instructions and you should be okay

Hi Paul,

Thanks for posting that, its spot on.

Im going to deleate the other post about posting pics as this is the best way to describe how to do it.

Thanks for your time again on that.

Paul

No Problem, glad to be of service

cheers.

Paul

Can I also add that if you have an account on photobucket ( http://photobucket.com/ ) you can host your pics on there and there are links where you can share to forums, email, facebook etc. I find that this is the easiest way but I think it's down to personal preference.

Anyone having problems please contact a member of the admin staff as we love to have pics posted on the forum and don't want to miss out on something you can't manage, we'd rather help them miss out.

Great instructions will try to up load pictures next weekend,is the seven day rule to stop scams etc thanks Gavin

cheers mate ill have a go.

Good luck any problems just get in touch with someone on admin and they'll help you.

posting images hosted at Photobucket

Ok presuming you have opened a Photobucket account and uploaded the images you want to display
hold your mouse on the image you wish to display and a box will appear as shown below

keeping the mouse in that box move down to where it says IMG code left click on this space and it will say saved



that means it has saved the link to your computer (don't worry where, it's only temporary)

next left click in the posting box of your new topic or reply ready to post the image.......next right click your mouse and select from the context box that appears the word paste

you should get something like this

Code:

[IMG]http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z279/hobspics/petter%20A1%20engine/trike/image1.jpg[/IMG]

this is the code needed to display your image, to test it you can click on the preview box below before making your final post, you can also add text either before or after your image .....or both if you wish

one other thing to mention ..............below the message box there is a small section called options

do not tick "Disable BBCode in this post" or your images will not be displayed.


NOTE

there is no limit on the number of images that can be displayed using this method if you repeat the process shown above.......................

HOWEVER it should be noted that caution is required on behalf of the poster as linking images in this way increases the bandwidth required to display the forum thus increasing the cost of maintaining the forum for the owners it is therefore desirable to only post those images that are required to have the desired effect NOT to show loads of images for the sake of showing them.

regards Neville

is your image hosted somewhere else ?

ok so you have your image in an open window in your browser..................

chances are your address bar will display the address of your image something like this

Code:

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z279/hobspics/petter%20A1%20engine/trike/image1.jpg

to display that image you need the BBCode to complete the link

Code:

to do this you need to add [img] to the front end and [/img] to the back end with no gaps in between so it looks like this

Code:

[IMG]http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z279/hobspics/petter%20A1%20engine/trike/image1.jpg[/IMG]

i'm having to use code boxes to show how to do this to prevent the code from working

Neville

Hob the photobucket way is how i have been uploading pictures on forums for years now . thanks for you help to the others .

Matt this tutorial is aimed at users new to the forum and maybe new to the internet...............it was prompted by a post i modified earlier to help new users, iv'e been around the internet for 12 years now and into forum moderation for about 5 years so if i can help in some way i will try to show the way if i can

Neville thanks for taking the time to explain it to anyone new to pic posting.
