There are so many people out there with digital cameras but don’t know how to post them on to the internet, and with all the new members and some old ones that don’t know how, but would love to post pictures s of the customs or collection, I feel it is important .

This is my first instruction of this type so let me know how it works, and post your pictures in this thread. And I think it should be made in to a sticky. Because a picture is worth a thousand words

I hope this helps

I too , want to Thank "VMF115" for volunteering to help me after a PM sent by me , for help on this , but unfortunately for me ,.. I thought it still , a little too complicated to go ahead with his plan.

So I thought I'd just wait for another time , via telephone. It worked out though , obviously.

* Edit :
........... * but I think it would really be alot less complicated if you can talk to somebody who could help walk you through it , via telephone. * =

Thanks again for your willingness & unselfishness , to help other fellow board members in our community here.

Cheers to you kitty ! * =

HOW IN THE EVERLOVING HELL DO I DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP- I HAVE REGISTERED WITH BOTH FREAKING IMAGESHACK AND PHOTOBUCKET AND STILL CANT FIGURE THIS SH.T OUT. I LEARN BETTER WITH PICTURES APPARENTLY; CAN SOMEONE POST SOME OF THE PROCEEDURE FOR EITHER ONE OF THESE SITES, PLEASE- GOOD EFFING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ruger]

I'm feeling helpful tonight, so I'll even reply to both posts:

Once registered, did you upload a picture to either (I'm more familiar with photobucket)?

If not, you'll need to do so.

If so, once uploaded the image (at photobucket anyway) will have some boxes below it that contain different addresses or tags depending on how you want to use the image.

On this board you can simply copy and paste everything from the IMG code box into your post.

Or if you'd like you can use the buttons above the box you type your post into. If you choose that route, you'll click the button that says "Img" once and it will add a "tag" that consists of brackets surrounding the letters "img" ( I can't write it out, because if I do, the system will recognize the img tag and try to use whatever I type next as an image). After that tag, you can type or paste the "direct link" (if your using photobucket) URL and then click the little yellow text above the white box you type your post into that says "close tags". The system will add a tag much like the "img" in brackets tag you put in front of the URL, only this one will have a slah before the img.

Once you get the hang of it, you can also just type out the bracket img other bracket, and do likewise with the slash for the other, it should look like this with out any spaces:

Done without spaces, you should get this:

I need to show pics of how to do it.....but right now I need to fix my own compter.

[dragon53]

I tried to paste a photo here and all I got was the link to the photo (which worked)

How do I paste the photo itself here? (I'm using Mozilla Firefox).

[VMF115]

you have to use these




[img]%20%20%20in%20this%20order%20%20[/img]

Or use Photobucket and copy and past

This is actually from another thread where I went through it all for someone else, but I figure I'll add it here too:

I'm more familiar with photobucket, so I'll just go with it. Perhaps someone else can chime in with imageshack help.

When I log in to photobucket, I see tabs for "home", "my album", and "find stuff" towards the top of the page. Like this:



From here choose "my album". Once there, new options appear underneath the previous tabs. They should read something like "albums and upload", "create slideshow", "create remix", "create avatar", "share album", and "buy prints". For me, albums and upload is the page that is already selected, but if not select it. It should look like this:



Now see the box slightly off to the right that says "upload to:", in it are three spaces/boxes with a button to the right that says "browse". If you happen to have the filename/path to wherever your images are stored all memorized, feel free to type it into one of the boxes. If not (like most of us), just click "browse" and use the little box that opens up to find the picture you want to upload. Once you find it, select it by clicking on it, then click "open". If you want to upload more than one picture, use the other two lines the same way, then click the big button at the bottom of that box that says "upload". Let it work for a minute or so, depending on your (and theirs) connection speed, until a screen that I can't remember just what it looks like an is giving me nothing but trouble tonight comes up.

Sorry, I'm working through this step-by-step as I'm typing it, to make sure everything is correct, but photobucket isn't working all that smoothly tonight, so I have to keep uploading images just to see what the next screen says... But, it is free...

Ok, that screen should look like this:



If you'd like you can add a title and description for your picture. Or you can skip it. You can always edit it later. I choose the blue "skip this step" button. Once you do, you should go to a screen that looks very much like the "my album" screen you saw several steps ago, only this time, your pictures should appear as little thumbnails underneath the upload box we were using earlier. If you scroll down a little you'll be able to see all your pictures, and the little boxes under tham that I mentioned in my last post. It will look a little like this, only with your own pictures instead:



If you manage to do all this, go back and read my last post, and it should make a lot more sense now. If not, feel free to ask more questions. A note, photobucket will resize your pictures automatically to a web appropriate size. Sometimes it's annoying, but again, it's free...

I tried the [img]and[/img] and also tried Photobucket---I'm still getting the link, but not the photo itself.
I used Photobucket to post these photos on another website and had no problems.
Any suggestions?

How did you convert my link into the photo itself?

VMF115:

Thanks. On another board, I had to delete the "http//" and substitute the "[img]"---I was doing that with SSHQ which was my mistake. Each board has its own posting procedures--unfortunately.
Thanks again for the help.
