We get asked this a lot.... "How do I post pictures?"
Well, here is one way that I use...
I host my photos on Photobucket.com
You do have to register to use the site, and if you have a free account you only get a limited amount of bandwidth. I recommend a paid account.
Photobucket is easy to use.
1. just upload your photos
2. once uploaded, your pix will be in a gallery where you can copy the URL code from below each pic.
3. paste the URL code into you post on this or any forum.
Some recommendations:
1. when uploading your pix you can select to 'size' to be uploaded to the gallery. I recommend using image size 640 x 480 - that is an ideal size for message boards and fits easily on the screen. You can select the size for uploading by clicking the option link on the upload screen.
2. A) when you are ready to post pix to the forum, you should log into the TORC forum and start your post. B) Open a new window to Photobucket and log into your account. Go to the Gallery where you pix are. Find the pix you want to display on your Forum message. Now below each pic you will see 4 different lines of URL codes, the one you want to use is labeled IMG Code - (the code should begin and end with![]()
...![]()
with a http:// web address in between). Copy that code. C) now go back to your Forum message and paste the copied code into your message. To see if it worked, PREVIEW your message before posting it.
That's about it. It's pretty easy once you get the first one done.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
