Attaching photos
« on: August 08, 2011, 01:15:39 PM »
I recently posted about my 74 CB 750 and I'm trying to figure out how to upload some photos of it?
I took some pictures of my bike and have them on my desktop at home, but when I try to do an attachment it does nothing? I'm able to click on browse and see the address to the picture. But when I click on save it does not show up in preview. It just shows what I typed, no pictures in the post. I guess I'm missing something? Or do I have to use Photobucket or You tube?

I do know that you have to reduce the size of em for it to work.Resize em about 2/3 smaller and see if that helps.
its better to regret something you have done,than something you havent.Except playing with explosives.

The max file size for a pic is 1024kb and the max width is 600 as is the max height of a pic.

It's easy if you know how to do it. I struggled too until Alan explained in detail.
Basically you:

1. Open free acct at photobucket.com
2. Upload your photos to said acct.
3. Copy and paste direct link From photobucket to your post

Here are the details on exactly how to do it:

For clarification, the above refers to uploading pics from your home computer, not redirects to other photo accounts and linking to them.
