Posting Pictures or Photos - It's easy

[Reebs]

There is an image hosting facility right here on the forum you can try. To use it, do the following:

1) Click 'Upload an image' from the Image Gallery drop down



2) In the next screen click Browse to open another window and find the picture on your computer or phone



3) Click Open, then Host It (If it's a big picture from your phone, you can choose the upload size, go for 'medium')

4) In the next screen, find the uploaded image and click your mouse inside the BB Code IMG box

5) Then press CTL & C at the same time to copy the text inside the box.



6) Go to your post and press CTL & V to paste the code straight into the message.

The pictures you upload to the forum must be a maximum size of 6500 width x 6500 height and file size no larger than 10000 KB. The image gallery will automatically resize your pictures to a more viewable maximum size of 800 x 600, and you can upload gifs, jpegs, bitmaps and .png files.

Just be aware that some images taken on smart phones may be so large in size that the forum software doesn’t recognise them as proper pictures so you may get a message saying ‘image is not a picture’

The current version of iPhone software now allows you to select the size of the image you want to upload. If prompted on your phone don’t select the default of ‘actual size’ but scroll to the next size called ‘large’ and use that.
