FAQ: How Do I Post Pictures?

EASY PIC POSTING INFO:

A very simple method is to use a hosting site such as www.tinypic.com for single pics, or www.photobucket.com for multiple pics.
Both are free, but PhotoBucket does require registration.


How-To:

1) know in advance where the photo files that you wish to post are located. (to make it easier, you may wish to copy the files to your desktop)

2) Go to one of the above hosting websites and use the 'browse' button to locate and select the files on your computer

2-A) For multiple pics,use Photobucket - click the 'Submit Multiple Pictures' dropdown menu and click the # of pics you need to upload before using the 'browse' feature to select the pics

3) Click the 'host it' or 'submit' button to upload the pic(s)

4) These websites generate 4 different file types - Be sure to choose the IMG type and copy/paste that entire IMG link into your post.

5) After pasting the IMG link, you will NOT see the actual pic UNTIL you click "Preview Post".

6) After you preview and verify your pics are inserted successfully, click "submit" and your post is complete!

You will see this sort of dialog either beside or beneath your photos on Photobucket. Just double-click inside the IMG Code dialogue box to copy the code needed into your clipboard, and then paste it into your post.
