gjb Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 how do you put a photo on this site thanks graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) tricky - very tricky................. actually that's valid for most siites except this one! 2 options (no that doesn't confuse things) 1. to attach a file from your pc to a post you make you use the "file attachments' link just above the "add reply" button. remember where you have saved the file on your pc (I always forget) and it's name then click "browse button" which will browse your pc. Find and select the photo by double clicking or select and open and the address will appear in the little window. When you post the message the file will be uploaded to the website, a thumbnail image will apear in your post and when people click on it they see it full size. 600x400 is a good working max. 800x600 is a max and should only really be used with compression. Around 120kb is polite to users who may not have the fastest access.............. 2. Club members can click on the button labelled 'photo gallery' which it the top navigation bar on th esite, right hand side (just under the SMB advert). Follow on screen guidance to set up your own albums and upload files to them. From there you can use the IMG button in the same way as the web link one (http://) and paste the address of your image into it. This way your image will appear embedded in your post at the size and in the position you select. OK This ones using No 2 which was the most recent pic anyone has uploaded...........Martin......... and on the other hand I will also grab one from my pc using No 1 method as well - if it works it's a typical mid channel trip from last year..............

Paul D Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Are you using an image with a "jpg" extension ? What are you putting between the <IMG> </IMG> tags exactly - it has to be a link to the image itself. Easy way to get the URL is to right click on the image displayed in your browser and then select properties. The URL is displayed and can be highlighted and put in the buffer using ctrl-C. Then use crl-V to paste between the <IMG> tags. If anyone wants a demo remind me at the next club meeting and I will show you on Bob F's PC.

Maverick Martin Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Oh yeah I hope the new picture skills don't demolish our bandwidth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yes - sizes look reasonable to me. It is OK provided the dimensions do not exceed those of the forum page - then the layout goes all awry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coddy Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 For those who want to store or transfer photo's this site is free http://photobucket.com/ and very easy to use. In fact all you have to do is copy the file name or url as given under each picture and it always works, great! Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
