Hello,

 

I'm moving your thread from the Geocaching.com forum, which is for website bugs and suggestions for new features, over to the "Getting Started" forum. There, you'll find a Frequently Asked Questions thread, pinned at the top of the forum. This entry gives step-by-step instructions for having a photo display on your cache page.

I've seen some cache pages with images that border the whole cache page. How is that done?

That is called a "tiled background image" and it is a bit easier to do. Just copy the URL for the background image into the field provided for that on the new cache report form. The system adds the html for you.

First, the image must already be hosted somewhere online. www.imageshack.us is a good free site that will host your images for you. Once that is done just put the web address for the image in the following code, click the HTML box on the cache edit form, and you're in business: <img src="http://yourimageaddress.jpg">

 

Or, if you want a thin black border around the image, you can use this code: <img src="http://yourimageaddress.jpg"border="4"> (The number inside the quotes determines the thickness of the border.)

 

Another way would be for you to upload the image to the geocaching site just like you did in your cache "My Portrait" Then put THAT address in the code. Like this:

 

<img src="http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/164b06ce-739b-4615-b625-9925806e6080.jpg">

 

The only problem with this method is that the geocaching site sometimes resizes the image.

Not true.

 

The right answer is:

 

Click on the [upload Image] link in the navigation block in the upper right corner of the cache page.

No, that answer was correct. The OP wanted an image to show up on the cache page. What you're suggesting simply puts a link to the image on the cache page, not the image itself. You can't put an image on a cache page without having it hosted somewhere. Uploading it to the cache page will do that, but it doesn't automatically make the image visible. So uploading it to the cache page is no better than using an image server site like ImageShack.
