Photo Posting Help & Instructions - READ BEFORE POSTING

Instructions to add photos to this section

On the tool menu above where you write a post click the icon which shows 'Host an Image' when the cursor is hovered over.

From here select 'File' and click 'Browse'

This will take you to the picture files that are stored on your computer

Select which photo you want to upload and click 'Open'

Now click 'Host it'

This will now give you the option to either copy a code for a Thumbnail version of your image (which will expand to full size when clicked), the actual image or just the Image URL.

Examples

This is deffinitely the easiest way to add photos to this site.


But you can also do it this way if you prefer -

Hosting Photos
You can use one of the free photo hosting websites such as Photobucket or TinyPic.
If you use Photobucket, upload your photos to your Photobucket account, then select the photo you wish to post, then copy the img.url which appears under the photo and paste this into your post.

Forum Display
In order to get your photo's to display on the forum, it's best to use the IMG tag displayed on the image hosters website, it looks like this:

Code:

[IMG ] http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/LoobyLu/forump14.jpg[/IMG]

Pasting this line directly into your post will result in this:




If the photo you are trying to post is very large then it's best to use a URL link, they look like this:

Code:

http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/LoobyLu/forump14.jpg

Pasting this line directly into your post will result in this:

http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/LoobyLu/forump14.jpg


Hope this helps you!
