Why do people have so much trouble posting pics? When I started on forums I had nobody to tell me how to post em, just had to find out for meself. Now there is usually directions for posting pics.

 

I usually say if you can open a free email account, you can open a free photo hosting account. If you can attach a pic to an email, you can upload pics to the hosting account. If you can copy the img code under the pic in the hosting album, and paste the code into your post YOU CAN POST A PICTURE!

In case you need to know how to post photos (I had no idea when I started out), here are some instructions, any probs drop me a PM.

First of all open a second browser window, as you would when you first go onto the internet (keep the one that you have City Vanner's Forum open in, this will help when you want to post your pics) go to www.photobucket.com by putting the address in the address bar, not via the link) and sign up for a free account.

You will then be directed to the page for uploading pictures. You can either upload one at a time, or directly under the 'Submit' button there is a drop down menu to select a number to do more than one at once.

 

To actually upload, click on the 'Browse' button. This will open another window with the pics on your computer in it. Click on the one you want to upload, and then click on 'Open'. This will close the little window and the code for your pic will appear next to the 'Browse' button. Repeat this if you have decided to do more than one at once, then click on 'Submit'. The words *Pictures Added will appear in red above the 'Browse' box.

 

Scroll down and you will see the pic(s) you have uploaded below, each one with three boxes below it, the bottom one is labled Img. This is the code you need to copy to your post. Click on this to highlight it, then right click and select 'copy' and click on that.

 

Return to City Vanners, and open your post. Put the curser where you want the pic to go, then right click and selct 'paste' and the HTML code for your photo should appear on the post! Click on the 'Preview' button and check that the pic will come out before you post ! Then if you are happy, click on 'Submit'!

 

That's it, you've posted a picture!

 

These are my instruction on my own forum, I don't think it's rocket science.....
