How To: Posting up pictures on a forum thread
Posted: Wed May 20, 2009 7:26 pm
This starts from the point where it is assumed you have a series of pictures already on
the PC and they're preferably (usually) in a jpeg format!
1: Where you get started - http://www.photobucket.com
Remember too you'll need to create a user name with a password to access their system
and post images.
The images/video upload:
2: To get a specific picture you click on the upload option which will pop up a search
dialogue to choose what you want to post:
Which then uploads onto photobucket and is catalogued onto your user account where
it is viewed in two ways:
A - small thumbnail with annoying dropdown options box which plays hard to get:
CLOSEUP:
the code required for a forum picture insert is the highlighted blue WHOLE string such as:
[ IMG]http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g318/ ... ture24.png[/IMG]
*To get the code to display, I've slipped a barspace after the first [IMG)
B - a larger image filling the screen better which is possible by clicking on the
previously shown above thumbnail:
3: After all that, this code/text can be copied and pasted onto the script entry
at the relevant part of your post as you would any posting, giving an end result of:
There are other photo hosting websites although the only other one I've used before is
http://imageshack.us/ although I prefer photobucket.
All the best,
Andrew
