How do I....

[163phil]

...upload a photo to a post?:confused:

Tried using upload image icon, but it asked for a URL. So I uploaded photo into member's galleires and copy & pasted from there, but didn't work:(

Sorry about stupid question, but us old buggers just can't get to grips with computers:D

Cheers

Phil:cheers2:

I've not quite managed to get large images in a post but in 'Additional Options' below the 'reply to thread' box, you can attach files. Just press the 'manage attachments' button and go from there.

Looks like this...

Cheers Lee:cheers2:

Guess I'm a simple type:D

(Bloody shame DMHC fly-in's off, I was looking forward to that - I know you and Paula were planning to go too:()

Next stupid question....

How do I resize my file manually?:ack2: (I have no photo editing software)

[Boggy]

If your on Windows you can do simple resizes in paint . Open the file up in paint and go to the Image menu and select Attributes . That will let you resize .

[Leebert]

If you are running windows, try right clicking the file in windows explorer and selecting edit.
The file should open in microsoft paint (:puke:)
Select Image from the menu bar and then attributes. You can resize from there. 800 by 600 or 1024 by 768 are good starting points.

Lol, I'm too slow :D

Thanks guys!:cheers2:

DOH! Learn something new every day:D

For some free, reasonable image editing software try Infranview.

Using Imageshack to upload is a piece of cake once you do it the first time .

Go to browse , pick file and click upload .

Once its uploaded the next screen gives you a load of options . Depending on what forum software your posting to depends on which link you need to use and also how the post will appear .



Thumbnails for Forums 1 [URL="http://img235.imageshack.us/my.php?image=heliaddict1mb3.gif"][IMG]http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7350/heliaddict1mb3.th.gif[/IMG][/URL] is the one that works here .

You can also use the forums imaging function by clicking the insert image button and pasting the imageshack Direct Link into the box .

A lot of forums like you to use the first approach which is thumbnails as it takes less time for the pages to load for people with slower pcs .


Imageshack also do a plugin for forums the admins may like that allows you to upload directly from the forum . Works with VBulletin to boot :p

Thanks again all!

I've tried Imageshack and am now completely stumped!!:ack2: I now have my photo on there, but don't understand what I'm doing at all! Clicked "Link to this page" and am now flummoxed! Getting annoyed so I think I'll pass on that one!:mad:

Tried attributes in Paint, as I thought that would be simplest, but it seems to resize from top left of the picture and I lose all the rest! Just end up with abit of sky on the screen:ack2: Don't know if this will be how the image is saved, and as I couldn't see how to save it as a new file didn't dare save it as I didn't want to lose the original!

Thanks Lee, I'll have a look at infanview - knowing me I probably won't be able to use that either:D

Don't you just HATE computers!!:puke: Still at least I can give you all a laugh on this lovely summer morning:smilielol5:

Once your pic is uploaded you need to look down the imageshack screen to the options it gives you . You will see "Thumbnails for forums 1" and a box containing a line of code . Copy the code and paste it into the forum post . Dont worry the forum knows what it is . If you click preview post you should then see the picture in a clickable thumbnail like the one I linked above .
