Posting pics

Postby Glen » 15 Apr 2009 09:26

Hi,
Never tried posting pics before but I've got loads from last year and I thought I'd have a try with a few ! Got them uploaded onto imageshack no problem (dont know if this is the best way to do it ! ) but unsure where to go from here. Tried copy and paste onto the photo gallery but that just seems to put the code for the pic in, is this correct ? You're help would be appreciated !
Regards
Glen

I cant access it now, as I am in work, but this is what Col wrote on the other page.

To post a piccie via Image Shack then the following simple instructions will help you along the way.

You will already have the piccie stored on your PC at this time.

Log into http://imageshack.us/

Select browse

Select the box underneath that says 640 x 480 ( for message boards) and tick the box on the left of it. ( this resizes your pics to a size suitable for viewing without stretching the page)

Select start upload

Ignore all the boxes EXCEPT for the HOTLINK FOR FORUMS (1)

Untick the left hand box that says "Include Details" then copy the whole of the box and then paste it into te ICR box and bingo you have a piccie for us all to view.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To Copy and Paste on Image Shack

Left mouse button clicked and move the cursor over the whole of the box, this will highlight the box blue , then press CTRL and C to copy.

Open ICR reply box where you wish to post a piccie and make sure the cursor is flashing in the box and press CTRL and V to paste.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. Dont know if its me being thick (probably), but those are the same instructions I tried to follow. I got as far as the upload and succeeded in uploading the pics onto imageshack but I couldnt see Hotlink for forums button or the include details one to untick !! So thats still where I'm at.
Regards

as long as you copy and paste the code into the box, it will convert to an image when you press submit, try it out in here and we can see how you are going :D

Sorry to be a pest again but what am I doing wrong ? The last pics I posted (Tired eyes and nice touches) have all come out as thumbnails, why ? I resized the pics when I uploaded them to Imageshack to 640x480(for messageboards) as per the instructions but when pasted to the photo gallery they appear as thumbnails. I've found how to get rid of the black bar with the pic size but am unable to resize them. Help appreciated please.
Cheers

Did you deffo tick the resize box? and post the right link ?

That looks like the "thumbnail for forums link" not the "hotlink for forums link"

Try and post them again and I will delete the other ones and see how we go from there :D

The hotlink option should be further down the page unless Image shack is having a weird attack at the time
