How to attach photos to posts

Postby Dexter St. Clair » Tue Jan 25, 2011 10:58 pm

I have adapted purplepantsman's original helpful post.

Be great to see any pics. Here's how I do it...

Open a free account with Photobucket or Flickr

Upload your photographs from your computer. I'm presuming you'll have them in the folder My Pictures.
name each photo

It's best to open an album in Photobucket and call it Hidden Glasgow and keep your HG pix in that..

Click on the image in photobucket and a drop down menu.the last option will have IMG Code copy the code beside it
the code which will look something like this

[IMG]http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg100/DexterStClair/Criterion.jpg[/IMG]

only with your name in it and the name you've given your photo.

Then just paste the image location into the space where you normally reply to a post or start a new topic

Just preview your post and it'll show you if it's worked or not.

If not check your [IMG][IMG]. I usually have double the number of IMGs required.

There's also help here...

How far down the process do you get and where does it go wrong?

You could always try posting a picture in this thread, if it doesn't work then at least the contributors will see where the issue is right away.

My process is I open a seperate tab for the forum I want to post pics to (open Post A reply) and a tab for the photobucket account. I simply click the IMG code under my pic, (it highlights yellow and says "copied") then I switch to the forum tab and with my right button I press paste .

You can also paste from the browsers "edit" button,
