Hey Seebee, |
|
You're not the only one struggling with posting a photo on the |
|
forum. Like most things, it's not hard once you know how. It's |
|
even pretty quick, once you get the hang of it. |
|
Here's what to do: |
|
1. Upload your pics to an online photo storage site (such as |
|
Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket, or Facebook). |
|
2. Make sure you set your preferences on whatever site you |
|
choose to allow anyone to view your photos (this setting is |
|
usually hidden under some tab titled "privacy" or "sharing", |
|
then... |
|
2. Select the photo you want to show everyone, then RIGHT click |
|
the photo itself. A list of options should come up, select |
|
"Copy Image Address." |
|
3. Go back to your post, figure where you want your picture to |
|
be within your message and put the cursor there. Then paste the |
|
image address into your message. It should look like this: |
|
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VrvDeN2-AZ8/UvU8hzkYeGI/AAAAAAAAAto/ALq6G5kE… |
|
/> (only, in your draft post, it won't be highlighted). |
|
You're NOT done. |
|
4. Select (highlight) the entire address you just pasted into |
|
your message. Then press the "Mona Lisa" button in the task bar |
|
(it's the one below the capital B). Now it should look like |
|
this: |
|
(img) |
|
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VrvDeN2-AZ8/UvU8hzkYeGI/AAAAAAAAAto/ALq6G5kE… |
|
/> -- This is a little different, it will be enclosed in bracket |
|
s |
|
rather than parentheses. Also, I added bolding for emphasis. |
|
5. Now click preview and see if you can see your photo. If you |
|
can, post your message and let us bask in it's glory! |
|
TIP: If you want to include several photos in your message, it |
|
helps to have two tabs open. The first tab will have your |
|
message, the other tab will be open to your |
|
Facebook/Picasa/Flickr/Photobucket page. That way, you can |
|
click back and forth between them. |
|
Another TIP: Using a site like Facebook is easy, but it doesn't |
|
offer the option to upload full resolution photos (which are |
|
larger and more awesome). |
