+cash king Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I am doing a photo mystery but I do not know how to add the photos. Can someone help? Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Add photo to the actual cache page? With HTML enabled insert [99img]Image.website.com[/img99] Only don't use the 99's. And instead of the words "Image.website.com" You have to use the URL for an image(IT HAS to be online-upload it to facebook, flickr, or even the page for a travel bug) when looking at the image right-click and select view image. Copy/paste whats in the address bar and use that. Scratch that..I was thinking something wasn't right, so I checked one of my cache pages and I gave the wrong tag(Right tag for here but wrong for a cache page) The correct one is <99img src="Website.com/picture.jpg" 99/> again ignore the 99's and replace "Website.com/picture.jpg" with the URL of the picture as I told you how to find in the first place...Sorry.

+cash king Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thank you guys for the help. I guess I just can't seem to transfer the image. I understand most of the info but can not get it done. Cash King Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well, I have a geeky brother to help me with these things. If I want to post a photo to a cache page, first I upload the photo to the cache page (or hide it elsewhere. Dead TB. PhotoBucket. One of my sister's dead geocaches. Some place that will give you a url for the photo. Example: GC1FJWX I uploaded the photo to the cache page. The url of the photo then became: http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/da795887-f84b-4596-a1d2-a6a0fd1a3414.jpg In the long description, I put: <img src='http://img.geocaching.com/cache/da795887-f84b-4596-a1d2-a6a0fd1a3414.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Change whatever comes between the ' marks to the source of your photo. I may not be too computer savvy, but this works for me. Quote Link to comment
+cash king Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) I have been at this for two days and I get a box where the picture goes with a red X inside it I can't seem to move the photo upthere. I upload the photos onto the cache page I put the tag where I want the picture and then the URL I summit changes then View listings and it is still the same. My tag is not right but I have tried every thing That people tell me. Cash King Edited March 7, 2013 by cash king Quote Link to comment
