Hey sorry but I searched how to post pics and get every thread that has pics in it but nothing on how to post em. I even started an album and thought I attached them because they show up as an album but when I click on the album it says the folder is empty. wtf. Any help would be great. Thanks
However, I use a picture-hosting site (photobucket) to store my pictures and then I use the insert image function (fourth icon from the right) under this "Quick Reply".
For some reason it doesn't work with a dynamic URL, but it works for a single pic. By a dynamic URL I mean addresses with stuff in it like "?action=view¤t=loweredV3"
and get a direct link to the image, not a url to a page even though your photobucket link ended in jpg it wasn't a direct image link (notice all the extra stuff that's not the image)
it can be from your album, it just has to be a direct link to an image... depending on your browser it may be easier or harder to get those direct links...
some browsers (chrome and firefox) make it easy by just right clicking the image you get a 'copy image location' or 'copy image URL'
in IE (internet exploder) you'll need to right click the image and then choose properties and then copy the link from inside the properties window
some image hosting sites, like photobucket and imageshack will offer up the 'direct link' or a 'forum link' for you to make it easy
The photobucket method works pretty slick. If you don't have an account, set one up. Upload your photo(s) by clicking the "Upload" button, and "browse" for the photo on your computer, then type a title on each photo when it asks for it. Once done, if you hover your cursor over the photo, the fourth thing (<-- technical talk) down that says "IMG Code" can be clicked on (actually, the box to the immediate right of it) to copy the image. Go back to your post, and with your cursor inside the posting box, right click and paste that sucker right in there. I like doing this far better than uploading directly from my computer because you don't have to resize it and you see it immediately in your post without having to click on to enlarge it.
Don't know if my explanation helped much ... the other guys here know a whole bunch more than I do about this stuff. :worship:
i prefer imageshack since you don't need an account (if you don't want to set on up) to post and their downloadable upload tool is super simple and works really well
saves a lot of time since i can just right click a picture (or a bunch of pictures) on my computer and upload them all in one fell swoop
