posting pictures

Okay Guys, I must admit I am battling to insert pictures into a post - I can get them into my archive.

Tried this:

You need to upload it to some of your own webspace or put it into the photo archive first. Then click on the 'image' button above where you type your post and paste in the URL of the image.

Chris

But I cant see an image button, so can someone please give me "the dummies guide to posting pictures" on LCB

Thanks

Fred WB

fred,

add an image to your photo archive

right click on that image (once in your archive) and get the url (http:// etc etc) copy that to clipboard (highlight, then edit -copy)

in a new post either type [img] (paste url here)[/img]

or use the insert picture button, it's next to the email button on the small toolbar above the text entry part in the 'formatting mode' section.

hope that makes sense..

Ned.

Are you logged in at the time? You already seem to have pictures in your archive so it must have worked at some point!

Not sure what you are trying to post, but it needs to be a picture hosted on the internet, not one on your local PC. Also make sure you are right clicking and selecting properties (not copy) and then selecting the URL shown in properties, highlight that and copy, then in your post, click the image button (4th from right) and paste - you should then paste in the link to the image and it should end with something like .jpg or.bmp etc (not .htm or .html)

Chris thanks for your reply. Successfully loaded pictures into my archive, but despit following your advice can't seem to get them to come up in a posting. Look at my replies to my Allow Wheels for sale in the For Sale section. ANy idea as to what's occuring?

blockhead_rich - 25/3/05 at 06:45 PM

Sussed it as you can see. But now, how do you post reasonably sized photos?
Rich


flak monkey - 25/3/05 at 06:54 PM

Use photoshop or similar to resize the image (800 pixels wide is good)

Makes it much more friendly for those running in lower res!


ChrisGamlin - 25/3/05 at 11:02 PM

Yep, whatever size they are, thats what size they'll come out on here, so you need to resize them beforehand using Paint / Photoshop / Paintshop Pro etc. Also just in case you werent arare, save them as jpgs and not bitmaps as they are much more compressed and so smaller for everyone to download.


blockhead_rich - 26/3/05 at 06:12 AM

Thanks guys for your help, as you can see it was worthwhile!

I don't seem to be able to upload any pictures at all at the moment!

The 'new topic' edit screen doesn't show an 'attach picture' option, and when I try to upload a small image to my picture area I get a 'nil return' - blank screen and nothing uploaded. I have successfully posted pictures before, so this is a new 'feature'.

Is this a leftover from the actions taken to block the PITA who was posting porno pictures?

If so, can we have the functionality back, please?

cheers,
David

I just uploaded a picture successfully to my archive. Is is a strange filename, or too large?


Fozzie - 25/5/07 at 09:04 AM

David, all functions are still there!

I have tested 'new topic' on various forums, and the facility is present... (the little postcard thingy with a mountain on).....

Just looked in your pic archive, and it may be, (assuming its the 'for sale' folder) that its the + sign, try uploading again, using under-score rather than a 'symbol'......

Or...try logging out, and then back in again...

U2U me if none of the above works!

HTH Fozzie

No, not that one, I meant the box at the bottom of a new post edit field that let you attach a picture straight off your machine.

The '+' one is an old upload that never worked properly (and I can't delete it!).

I'm trying to upload to my photo area a sensible piccy called DCF004.JPG that's around 65k in size. Everything used to work OK, but now it doesn't...

David


flak monkey - 25/5/07 at 11:58 AM

David,

The attachment box has been removed in the anything else and this section when posting on topics. However it's still there in all of the others I think (havent look at them all).

No idea why it wont upload to your archive though

David


Fozzie - 25/5/07 at 12:21 PM

Aha...the attachment box!.........

Also.....just a thought.....putting pictures in your archive....it used to be that if there was another member, who already had a picture in their archive with the same name as you are trying to use.......it wont want to know......

Try renaming the picture to a more unique name, and give that a go? ....

It may be that there is a picture in someones archive with the same name, albeit a numeric one.....

Fozzie

Edit....typo ...ooops

David Jenkins - 25/5/07 at 01:29 PM

Pity about the attachment box - but I fully understand why. Would be nice to get it back, though.

As for the gallery upload - changing the name did it! Not a very good database key though, if it complains about identical filenames across different forum members' archives.

cheers,
David

flak monkey - 25/5/07 at 04:42 PM

Chris fixed that ages ago. If you look in my archive there are several files that say 1 or 2 infront of them because someone else already has uploaded one with the same name.

Dont know why thats stopped working...


Fozzie - 25/5/07 at 04:57 PM

Well...I gotta say Flak, that bit has never been fixed for me....

I just got used to giving the pics unique names, so forgot about it...

Glad you have had success David (J), with uploading your pictures.....

Fozzie


flak monkey - 25/5/07 at 05:43 PM

Wierd, I thought it was a sitewide fix...
