+imajeep Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 A few weeks ago, I posted a question on this forum about uploading pictures to be displayed in forum postings. What I learned was that the photo has to be uploaded to a photo hosting site. Then, click the 'Tree' icon here and paste a link to the hosted photo in the pop-up box. I finally got around to looking for free photo-hosting sites, and I found three that may be useful. I want to share this list with the community. I'm not affiliated with these sites in any way, and I haven't had any experience with them, so I can't vouch for them, other than to say they appear clean and sober: AllYouCanUpload.com PhotoBucket.com ImageShack.com In addition, BayImg offers free image hosting. I have separated it from the main list because it is sponsored by PirateBay.com, a rather notorious BitTorrent site. If you have had experience with any of these sites, please chime in. If you know of any other sites, please add them to the list. Thanks!

PhotoBucket.com Ok - I entered it in photobucket. What is the 'Tree' icon?
+Ambrosia Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Photobucket is great. It usually fits the picture perfectly on the forum page. FYI - if you use photobucket, you don't need to use the tree icon on these forums. Photobucket gives you 3 options of links to post for your picture....just use the one that begins with, .

How do I get it to go to my profile? Also I already have the same image already in my profile, but that one doesnt show up in my posts. Can I delete it? As you can see, I am a newbie at this!
+Ambrosia Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) I'm confused about what you are trying to do. Are you trying to put a picture into one of your posts, or put it into your profile, or make a new avatar? Edited June 22, 2007 by Ambrosia
+BlueDeuce Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) ...nevermind, I'm probably just adding to the confusion. Edited June 22, 2007 by BlueDeuce
susancache Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I'm confused about what you are trying to do. Are you trying to put a picture into one of your posts, or put it into your profile, or make a new avatar? I have a picture in my profile, but there must be something wrong with it since it doesn't show up on the left side with my info in the posts that I have sent. I'm willing to replace it. So I put the same photo from my own computer file into photobucket to see if it would work better. But now I don't know how to get it from photobucket to my profile! Aaargh. I'm pretty bad at computers.
+Ambrosia Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Ok, that helps to know exactly what you are needing. I hope I'm correct in that you're trying to set up an avatar. From the sounds of it, you uploaded a pic to your profile. To do that, you would have gone to "edit my profile", and then clicked the link under, "your avatar". When there, you click on "upload a new image". That image can be from a file on your computer, no problem. Don't use photobucket. When the photo is uploaded, click on it. That will make it pop up in the upper right of the screen. Then click the button above that picture in the upper right, which says, "select avatar". Then click on the link that says, "re-register the changes". That will take you back into the forums. Should be good to go, then.
