How to post pictures in a thread or how to post a thumbnail

[RU42]

Step 1 - Load your picture into the Photo Gallery.

Posting your picture for all to see:

(FULL SIZE)

General Comment: I always find it easier to have 2 windows open, one to the thread where I am writing and the other to the Photo Gallery. To open a second windows in IE press ctrl-n. With Firefox press ctrl-t

1 - Go to your gallery. You should see thumbnails of your pictures. Click on the picture you want to share. It is now 'full sized' on your screen.

2 - Right Click on the image. Choose the bottom option PROPERTIES

3 - While looking at the Properties screen you will see something dead center called the ADDRESS. It looks like a web address. Highlight the entire address including the http:// portion. Once the whole address is highlighted press ctrl-c to copy that address to computer memnory. Here is an example of what one of mine look like:

4 - Now go back to the thread where you want to post this picture. You insert the image with the following command.

[img]THE_ADDRESS_YOU_COPIED_FROM_STEP_3[/img]

Using the address I gave as an example in step 3, this is what you would see:



That is all there is to posting a full size image within a thread.


HOW TO POST A THUMBNAIL WITH A LINK TO THE FULL.

You will use many of the same steps above.

1 - Go to your gallery and locate the thumbnail you want to use, however, DO NOT CLICK on it - you want to right click on it.

2 - Choose properties just like above

3 - Copy the address just like above.

4 - Post the image in a thread just like above.

Now for the changes:

5 - Go back to the image gallery and now click on the thumbnail, right click on the full size image, and copy the address

6 - Go back to the thread and before the text for steps 1-4 add in this command.

[url=http://address.of.the.thumbnail.jpg]

7 - After the text you typed, right after your closing /IMG tag add the following:

[/url]

So, an example would look like

[url=http://www.visionsfantastic.com/forum/gallery/files/1649-Char_Belle_05_0527_03_thumb.jpg]
[img]http://www.visionsfantastic.com/forum/gallery/files/1649-Char_Belle_05_0527_03_thumb.jpg[/img]
[/url]

You will see this:

is it possible to remove a picture from our own gallery/album?

You can delete your pictures, just edit the picture in your category and click delete picture.

If your pic is too big, it will not work and it will go to the "this page unavailable". The same thing happened to me. I resized it smaller to around 100k, and it went through just fine.

I've tried three times to upload to the contest gallery and all I get is a white screen with "Done" at the bottom. I've already uploaded the same pic once into my member category gallery with no problem. I'm trying to upload it again under a different name into the contest gallery.

(Whining) What am I doing wrong?

Is it me, or is this process just a pain? Sorry, just seems to take me an extremely long time everytime I want to post a thumbnail.

[JudgeDoom]

yeah, it is sorta a pain, but i don't mind it
