Photos In The Forums.

[+Airmapper]

I have tried to post photos with my messages but I can't get a image to appear, it alway rejects the code. How do I insert photo into a post?

First you need somewhere on the internet to store the photo. Something like personal web space, a company web site, your user account or something else. Upload the photo to that internet spot.

Then use the img button above the forum edit window to insert the internet address of the photo. Something like: http://www.wnag.net/myphoto.jpg

 

Make sure it is forum friendly by not being too big for display or too big of a file size.

Thanks, I'm not sure how to do that but it's a good start. And I know what you talking about on those fourm friendly photos, I have dial-up.

 

I think I am allowed to have a personal webpage with my ISP, i'll look into that.

First you need to upload your pic to the internet. I use http://www.imageshack.us to do this. You choose a photo from your computer and upload it.

 

 

After it is uploaded it will display a page full of links that you can use.

 

 

This is nice because it has a varity of links to use. You can post the full image, like above, or just post an image thumbnail. It's as easy as coping and then pasting the provided link into your message. Take advantage of the preview button here to make sure things look just right.

There's a test thread pinned at the top of the "Getting Started" forum where you can practice. Hint: You're not using the tag correctly.

[+Airmapper]

Yes, I'm here, still getting this.

P.S. I'm using the edit feature, so this post will change a few times.

Hello?

 

Use the image buttons in the code section of the posting window, thusly:

 

[IMG=http://www.yourphotoURL.com]

I am putting my URL in the box provided when i select the IMG code button. When I submit I just get an error message saying that it will not accept dynamic pages.

[+The Leprechauns]

You can't link to dynamic images for posting in the Groundspeak Forums. Download the desired image, then upload it somewhere with a static image URL.

I'm digging this thread out of the dusty filing cabinet, but I still can't figure this out. I'm going to give it another shot.

 

I've tried Imageshack, I like it and think it will work. But I keep getting the [can't have dynamic images] error note.

[+GEO.JOE]

I am glad you broght this up. I have been around her for 2 years and I have never tried to post a picture before and with a little plaing around I think I got it.

 

What you have to do on the imageshack page go the the hotlink for forums and cut and past that hot link.

 

DO NOT USE THE IMG CODE BUTTON ABOVE THE POST SCRENE WHEN REPLYING .

 

[+Airmapper]

 

Ha Ha, I got it

 

Thanks Joe, I was hung up on that IMG code. I didn't think to try it without the IMG.
