POSTING PHOTOS
If you're like me when I first started, you probably need a little stronger instructions to posting pictures than what is offered by well meaning members. Here's what I wish I had when I first started posting pictures on forums: "Posting Pictures for Dummies"
First:
IF YOU WANT TO POST YOUR OWN PERSONAL PICTURES FROM YOUR COMPUTER - 2 THINGS:
FOR NON-SUPPORTING MEMBERS: YOU NEED TO UPLOAD THEM TO AN ON-LINE PUCTURE ACCOUNT LIKE PHOTOBUCKET OR PICTURETRAIL BEFORE YOU CAN POST THEM ON THIS SITE.
FOR SUPPORTING MEMBERS: A BENEFIT YOU PAY FOR BY CONTRIBUTIONG TO THIS SITE IS THAT YOU CAN UP-LOAD PHOTOS DIRECTLY TO YOUR POST FROM YOUR COMPUTER WITHOUT USING A 3RD PARTY HOSTING SITE.
To post pics from your picture hosting account or from any picture on the web:
Step 1:
open a second browser window and navigate to the picture you want to include in your forum post. Using your mouse, right click over that picture, then left click "properties".
Step 2:
A box will pop up. highlight the whole address or U.R.L. to the picture as shown below and type CTRL/C at the same time to copy:
Step 3: Return to the open browser window where your CT post edit box is open and click on the "Image" button shown below:
Step 4: An editing box will pop up, paste the address there as shown. to paste address: click on the border of the edit box and type CTRL/V at the same time. Your picture's web address should appear in the box as shown below:
Step 4:Click OK or hit enter. Your picture with the proper display code should appear in your post edit box as shown below.
You can bypass the image button pop-up if you feel confident by simply pasting the picture URL directly onto your post editing box and type the code in the position as shown in the red out lines. [image] in the front of the address and [/image] at the end.
