How to post pictures on these forums

[10incher]

To post a pic, first you have to upload it to one of the following sites. You will have to sign up for an account first (which is free).

www.photobucket.com
www.imageshack.us

Once their, upload the picture to Photobucket and it will show you a set of 3 URLs you can use for each picture. The one you want to use has a set of IMG tags embedded into the code (the 3rd one down). Simply copy and paste the proper code into your post and the picture will show up once you complete your post.

For any other image hosting websites that only show a link to your picture (with no embedded IMG tags), Copy and paste the url into your post, between a set of IMG tags. To get the IMG tags, click the "insert image" button when making a post.

Anyone with any questions, please contact a Moderater or post them here.

hi if it helps i use tinypic (not tinypics which is another diffent ball game) for hosting
heres a link
www.tinypic.com/
when uploaded itll take you to a new page when you press the orange words Click here (it sends you to the photo hosted)
then use the second link down ( http waffle for putting photos on message boards (like here).
also if your an ebay seller, use the top link (<a waffle a> )
that way you can list cheaper and cut costs down

Open up a message like you do to respond here, then open Photobucket in a separate screen. At the bottom of each page you can "Select all". If you do not want to use them all, put your mouse on each photo you do not want from that page of 20 and click to remove the green check mark. Go back to the bottom and click the "Generate HTML and IMG code" button, copy the links in the "IMG for message boards" part and paste them in your intended message here. If you need photos from different album pages, do the same with the next page/photos and then past them on the line directly below the first set you have pasted.

I'm not having any luck posting fromFlickr. It seemed I could post from there before but not any more. Anyone else having this problem? Probably a simple solution. If you have it, please let me know.

I don't use Flickr so can't really help ya their, but I noticed the last few days that my Photobucket account has been goinf wonky? Pics not showing up, only the dead link X square. Anyone else have this problem lately?

So with the recent photobucket fiasco, we should probably change the information here. I've just tried  using Imgur and it seems to work pretty good.

But with Imgur, just don't put your photos in an album and try to upload it anywhere like a forum. It cannot be done. It also does not like you to sort your album and then add more photos. When you go to sort, they are scrambled back to some other order than what you want.
