How do you post photos?
« on: May 06, 2010, 03:28:53 PM »
I kinda new and have been wanting to post some photos.
I have read the FAQ and opened a photobucket acct but still cannot post. I'm not an idiot and have posted to ebay, CL and send emails w/photos all the time, but this has me stumped.
Can someone give me very detailed instructions?

Thanks.

OK, go to your photobucket account and get the direct link code, see my first pic....

Copy that code.

Then click this button, see my second pic...

[ img][/img ]   will appear in your message when you click that button, a flashing cursor will be between the brackets in the center of [ img][/img ]

Paste your direct link code there, then click the preview button below the post box, it's located between the post button and spell check.

(this method also works in Private Messages)
Cheers.

If that makes sense to you there is another way to post pics in your threads.

when you reply or create a post there are the words 'additional options' just to the lower left of the text box.

Click on these words and the options will appear.  To use this method you must have pics or documents that fit within the following guidelines:

Allowed file types: txt, doc, pdf, jpg, gif, mpg, png, kmz, xls.doc
Maximum attachment size allowed: 256 KB, per post: 5

Cheers!

OK, got it. I was hitting the button to the right w/the globe, which posts a hyperlink.
Thank you for the excellant directions.
