Adding pictures to posts

[Polly]

I realise I'm a techno-phobe but need some help getting a picture or two of my new PB posted on here. Guidance needed!!!!!

when you post a reply after youv finished typing scroll down the page to 'file attachments'

click browse and find an image you wish to open then click add this attachment.

 

if the size of the picture is too big, open it in paint or photo editor and simply reduce the size of the image using the re-size cursor that appears in the corner of a picture. then go to 'file save as' and change the file to .jpg

 

hope this helps

And you could put you photos on a web site, either your own or a photo hosting site such as http://www.photobox.co.uk/ making sure you make them public.

 

come back to the forum and open a posting box and type in your massage, and then;

 

Type in ['img'] www. your pictures web address.co.whatever, [/img]

 

(Leave out the comers’ in the first brackets I had to put them in to show you what to type or there would have been a red cross in a square and no text)

 

You probably have some web space with your internet account, you usually have to activate it, don’t bother to build a web site, just upload the pictures, and link to them with the 'img' tags.

This has the advantage of not using up lots of the bandwidth of this site. Thats how i put the picture in my signature

You had any luck with the pics yet mate?

 

 

This is my last attempt !!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Give up !!!!

 

all I get is this:-

 

The total filespace required to upload all the attached files is greater than your per post or global limit. Please reduce the number of attachments or the size of the attachments.

[steve17]

that means your pics are too big mate.

 

open them in paint and resize them abit smaller and save them. then try again.

Resize the pic to 800x600.

Sign up to www.photobucket.com

 

Follow the instructions and upload your pic to them.

 

Pic will appear in "my gallery"

 

Highlight the URL (bottom row) and R/c, and copy. Make sure you highlight ALL of the URL

Surely if he just resizes it to 800 x 600 then clicks 'add this attachment' on his post, that will work?
