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.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

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)

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

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

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

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.

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?
