Downloading Photos onto the Forum

[Ann1]

Milky, you want to put photos on here? I can tell you how I do it, but I'm sure there are millions of ways of doing it, but the one I find easiest is this. I presume they are not already on your computer? You'll need to scan them in, and put them in a folder. Do you have a photobucket account? If not open one, and download them onto photobucket, it's simple to download as it tells you what to do!!!! Then just download them onto the forum the same way you would from any photobucket photo. You can also have fun with them as well, with the tools provided by photobucket!! If they are already in your computer, then just download them to photobucket, and off you go. I hope that is clearer than mud, I'm not very good at explaining things Any probs, put them on here and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

All,

As this is quite a common question of people, here is a basic guide to posting pictures on the forum.

(a) If the picture is on your computer
1. Go to a image hosting site such as www.imageshack.us and upload the picture from your computer to the site.
hint:Imageshack can resize the picture for you so it is the right size for the forum, 640X480 is a good size.

2. Copy and paste the appropriate URL they gve you into your post.
hint:Usually the one you want is 'Hotlink for forums (1)'

(b) If the picture is on the internet
1. Find the direct URL address of the image, this address will end in the file type of the image eg. image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2006/12/05/angel460.jpg
hint:To find a images direct address right click on it and select properties, or if you found it in google images it will be shown at the top of the page.

2. Put this URL in between the tags [/img] using the pic icon on the add tags field. Then preview to see it in your post.

Give it a go and let me know if you still have any difficulties.
