How to upload a Photo/Pic to the Forum

[Paul]

Hi All,

How to upload a photo/pic to the forum, is quite often asked by our newer members.

There are two main ways of doing it:

• Upload straight to the forum.
• Upload using another on-line facility (there are plenty of free ones available).


Uploading straight to the forum

Pros:
• Easy and quick to do

Cons:
• Not very easy to determine the file size to use if added straight in rather than in-line.
• If you hit a certain level of storage on the forum, then you’ll need to delete earlier ones, before you can add new ones.


Upload using another on-line facility

Pros:• No need to delete any photos off the forum if you hit the limit
• Easy to share with other on-line applications

Cons:• You have to up-load the photos to the on-line facility and then to the forum


On this thread, I’ll add more posts to explain how to do the above (with pics).

Kindest Regards

Paul

Either start a new post, or reply to one

You can either:
• Attach a photo/pic
• Place a photo/pic in-line


In both cases, click on the "Upload Attachment" Tab



By the "Filename" click on "Browse" to locate the file you want to upload (you can add a fie comment if you want).



Then click on "Add The File", when this has happened, you then have 4 choices:

• Place inline (this will add it within the text)
• Delete
• Preview
• Submit


If you click the submit button then the file will be added as an attachment.


If you click the place in line button, the photo/pic will be within the text on your post:

went to use Photobucket this morning and the layout has changed
I stayed with the older version as i,m used to using that one so i am going to check it out this morning to see whats changed.

Hi Casp,
Ill check the new version later as well, as recently they've added some very small minor changes

looks pretty good on first view Paul, easy to copy and paste but i need to reduce the photo size for the forum
