Ok, I'll try to make this as easy as possible.

Here's how to post pictures to the forum like a boss.

First, get yourself an online picture sharing account, I'll be using photobucket as an example.

Add some pics to your photobucket account.

Ok, here you can see that I have uploaded this awesome motorcycle selection chart to photobucket and have selected this picture from the folder. Now you need to look on the right hand side and find the box labeled "Direct", I've circled it in red.





If you click on the box marked "Direct" with your left mouse button, the box will turn yellow for a moment and the text "copied" will show in the box. This means that the address in the box has been copied into your windows clipboard.





Now, when you are composing your post on the forum, you will see a little icon above the text entry box with a framed picture in it, it is circled in red in the picture below:





When you click the picture icon, an image tag will show up in the post, it will look like this:





The cursor will be positioned between the image tag brackets as you can see in the picture above.

Now, RIGHT click the mouse button in between the IMG tag brackets. When you do this a menu will pop up like this:





If you left click on the "Paste" option, it will paste the image address from the clipboard into the message body as shown here:





Once that is done, click the mouse at the end of the last IMG tag or press the "end" key on your keyboard to begin typing in the message field again.

This is how you post awesome pics like the one below to our forum.

It's important to feel comfortable in your own skin because it's illegal to wear someone else's.

If you can't get one, make one.

Or you can post them right off your own hard drive. Click on "Additional Options", below the text box. Then click "Browse". Hunt up the picture you want to post and select it. It will appear after the text in your post. You will notice that you are only allowed to post up to 3 pictures no larger than 250 KB each.

Resizing is as easy as emailing the picture(s) to yourself. In Windows, you can select one or more photos, then right-click on one of them. Select "Send To" and a box will come up with sizing info. I find that 800 x 600 is perfect for forum postings. Then send them to yourself. Go and open up your new mail and do a "Save As" on each of the pictures. I save them to the same folder, but add an "a" to the end of the file name, as you can see on the attached file. This prevents the original file from being replaced.

There you go. Now you have two good ways of attaching photos.

OK Shawn, you know me, I need a really easy way to post pics from my iPhone while Roy and I are in NZ.

Cheers,

Mrs. Twin is coming to coffee tomorrow morning, you two can discuss your blogging needs with her because she knows more than I do. (see honey, I do admit it now and then!)

Yes, Photobucket has decided to ransom the internet and they're losing.

They want $400.00 a year for photo hosting now.

I've moved over to Smugmug, it's $40 for a whole year and much easier to use with less ads. The downside is that none of the old threads with pictures will work now but it's not a huge deal.

Hey Shawn,
I just posted this pic from my photobucket account. I only pay $2.99 a month. I heard everyone was having problems but I wonder why I was still able to post my pic? Huh?

They seem to be implementing the new terms of service slowly.

I first heard of the issue a month ago. My account stopped working last week.

I've never paid for an account so maybe they targeted all us cheapskates first.

Yes I was wondering the same thing. It has to be backfiring on them no??
