Posting Pictures

[colinxm]

Hi all, some of you cleverer than me type people have managed to attach actual pics that can be seen along with the text of your postings, anyone got the time to tell a simpleton like me how to achieve this

Thanks, Colin.P

Hi Colin,

I asked the same question a few months back, I found Ciarans explanation useful, it worked for me............

quote..........

"To get them to display in-line, you need to host your images somewhere remote, like the Photobucket site Andrew mentioned. Go there and sign up an account (its free). It will then let you upload photos, and will provide a link to them.

To have them display in a forum post, you just enclose them in [IMG] tags using the IMG button at the top of the post window.

Hope thats making sense, if not, just post back

Ciarán"

Here's a link to Photobucket if you're interested.........

Let me know if you have any problems

Hi Colin,

To display inline pics, rather than have them as attachments, you need to have them already hosted somewhere online, either on your own webserver, or with somewhere that offers free image hosting, such as Imageshack or PhotoBucket.

When you have an account at one of those places (they're free to sgn up to), you simply upload your pictures there, then copy the URL of the pictures, and place them in your forum posts using the IMG function.

It's not as complicated as it sounds.
