Despite spending the last 15 minutes searching this site I cannot find any info on how to post photos of my pride and joy. I have used photobucket previously and would welcome some advice for here.
I'm carp with computers, but I do it the easy way......go to 'Go Advanced' after you have put your text in, then it's a step through to searching from pics on your computer......Although this way you are limited to the size of the photo. That's as much as I know on the topic...hope it helps a bit at least.
You can use photobucket to display images in the picture lounges. You can use it elsewhere but it only shows up as a link like this random selection from my account:
I personally think it's a weakness on this site compared to others but there are reasons for it so I try not to carp on about it.
adding Images to any image lounge via photobucket.
Upload images to photo bucket
Choose file from laptop and choose OPEN, will now upload.
Press save and share now.
Hovering cursor On each uploaded pic there will be a choice of how you want your files moved. You need to copy the one that says and that can be pasted into the AO reply box.(IMAGE THREADS ONLY)
for non image threads you higlight,copy and paste the DIRECT LINK option.
For multi uploads on image threads, use the tick box on the ones you want to upload and then scroll to the buttom to press the 'GENERATE HTML AND IMG CODE' button.
Now you will need to copy and paste ALL of the inside of the 4TH box that says IMG images for message boards, (it should be full of [IMG]http..... blah blah. Paste that into reply box of AO.
Attatchments into threads/posts/non-images lounges..
Go to the last poster, and at the bottom on the left there is a POST REPLY button.
Hit that, Now under the smileys, in the additional options part you will see MANAGE ATTATCHMENTS. Hit that and new window will open for you to choose which image to want to add by hitting CHOOSE FILE and searching where the image is on your laptop/pc. Higlight the file you want from the laptop/pc and choose open. It will then go into the MANAGE ATTATCHMENTS box all by itself, all you have to do now is press UPLOAD.
You can see if it has uploaded (still in the manage attatcments box) by looking for the 3rd block of writing which says CURRENT ATTACHMENTS, it should say 'whateverfileis called.jpg and the size. eg 98.4KB.
You can close that window now and either submit reply or add text in the normal box you would reply to a thread then submit reply.
Thanks for the heads up folks, took some photos of my 'new' car today, well new to me at any rate, I've had it 2 weeks now and have replaced the nsf door as the original was very rusty, put a bluetooth CD radio in it, replaced the boot badge as some low life had ripped the previous one off before I got it and generally given it a lot of TLC. I think it looks fabulous, especially when you factor in the smiles per mile against what it cost me. Quite possibly one of the best cars I have ever bought.
I'll post the photos in a new thread in a moment.
Thanks again.
