RFI / Posting photos

Post by NCGS »

Ok, I give up.. I went to the FAQ to see how to post a photo in here, but from what it says, it can't be done. I know it can, since I see photos all the time - (and we all know what they say about a picture being worth a thousand words..)..

Appreciate your help.

FWIW, I use Photobucket to store pix - if that helps.

View one of you own photos.

Look at the address bar of your browser (with that the http:// yada yada crap). Might look like this...

http://blog.places2ride.com/uploaded_im ... 701489.JPG

Copy that line of stuff from the address bar (ctrl + C).

Finally, start a new forum message. Click the little IMG button, then paste your line of gobbledeegook (ctrl + V). Click the IMG button again.

Now preview it and you should see an image...

Photobucket makes it easier for you - just click on the text in the 'IMG Code' box to automatically copy it.

When you find your way back to this 'post a reply' page here, you just need to press 'Ctrl' and 'V' together - it should paste in the long string of text from Photobucket.

Click on 'preview' below to make sure it worked before hitting submit.


- You can also use the right-click of the mouse to access Copy and Paste functions

- You can also use the same functions from the 'Edit' menu in your browser

- I use Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer, as it has 'tabs' across the top to make that flicking between websites easier. I know you can do this in IE v7 now, but it sucks (though that's a whole other discussion).
