posting pics?

Hi fellas, Can someone give me a quick tutorial on posting pics here?I almost have it figured out,I can upload them just cant seem to get to the next step .Thanks Bob

Long and short, two options:

1) Take the web address (URL) of the picture and wrap it in IMG tags, like:

[img] link-to-picture [/img]

(Note:  Remove the spaces between the []s)

I normally use http://www.tinypic.com to upload my pictures and get a URL link to them.

2) Use the "Go Advanced" posting section, under the text entry area, click "Manage Attachments" and upload the pictures there.  Beware:  If you go back and edit your post, you may find that the pictures disappear until you re-enter the "Go Advanced" area to edit the post again to make them show up.

If neither of these two make sense, let me know.  I will give you a link to a PDF I made to help people post pictures - it has step-by-step details. 


If your operating system is windows try right clicking your picture thats on your hard drive and in that window you may see for example
copy
paste
delete
send to
rename

look for word <<< resize >>> and click that and you should see something like
small
medium
large

i check medium and it brings picture well under a megabyte which is required to upload to figs4fun forum.


This will not work on garden web though as that site requires the picture html code and i used photobucket for that at the time which i got tired of and no longer post pictures there.


If you do not see it
go to microsoft website and look for picture resizer power tools for your particular older windows version.
