I am not very proficient on the computer. Would someone be willling to give a step by step how-to on how to post pics without having a to link them?
First you need to make sure the pics you want to post are no larger than 488 kb. You'll most likely need to resize them. To post pics simply fill in the text you want in the box then scroll down to the "manage attachments" button. Click this. Click the "browse" button to find the pic on your computer. Repeat using the next browse button if you have more than one pic. Click "upload" and wait until the pics are done uploading. you'll see the file names appear when it's complete. Close this window then click on "submit"
Thanks, but how do you insert text/captions in between the pics? I see that quite a bit but never been able to figure out...
that's done through hotlink the pics. you have to use a picture sharing site like photobucket, fotki, etc. You upload the pics from your computer to their site. once done you get the URL for where the pic is being hosted. then you go to you post and do the [img ]www.fotki.com/ouwer90238r0/0280.jpg[/img ] then you can insert your comments underneath/ontop of the photo
As Foo said, you need to link the pics to put text between them. You can use the STR gallery for this too. Here's the sticky with instructions:http://www.socaltrailriders.org/for...orial-how-upload-post-rr-photos-like-pro.html C
how do you resize the pics? i tried posting one but it said it was to big. i clicked on everything i could think of on my computer, but i couldn't make it smaller. thanks, chris
Here's a tip that I haven't seen given... use Firefox. For off-site pics that you upload to Flickr or Picasa or Photobucket or Smugmug (not attachments to a post) you have to get the address of the pic. In the Firefox browser you can right-click on an image and "copy image location" then paste that into the image popup. You can't do that in IE.
it's a bit more involved with IE you have to right click and highlight "properties" and then copy the link location...PITA i tell ya.
Suggestion: It would be pretty cool to add a comments section to photos. There have been more than a few that have popped up that needed commenting on. Edit: Duh. I'm a dolt. Didn't scroll down far enough. Carry on.
Just testing SMUGMUG A photo to insert (Large option) (Sony camera shooting 3megx2meg) Into my text! Now XL ding! Now XXL bingo Finally XXXL wow! That was easy! Now for the Canon shooting 3 megapixels Large below... XL below ... XXL below ... XXXL below done!
First, resize to like 1024x768 unless the pics are already small. Start a Reply or begin a thread. Click on the paperclip. The attach thing comes up. Browse to your pics. When you're done getting pics, click "Upload". Wait patiently until the dialog comes back with either a list of $hit you did wrong and/or a list of files uploaded. Click "Insert All" Then put in text between the "ATTACH" tags like so.
