SuperMommy Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 What about a sticky (or something to that effect) on directions for uploading pics onto a post (including how to do attachments)? I'm having a little trouble with it. Plus, I know it's a question that I've seen asked on here many times. Just a thought?
Rebirth Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Do you have a host? You'll need a host first. Here some hosts. imageshack.us tinypic.com photobucket.com
SuperMommy Posted September 9, 2006 Author Posted September 9, 2006 Well, I've got a few on photobucket, but when I tried putting one of the pics in a post it turned out huge! Plus, I've heard some people now saying not to go with photobucket. So, I'm not sure if I should stick with it or not.
Rebirth Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 imageshack.us, allows you to resize your pictures. Go to their size, check the "resize image" box, select 640x380 (for message boards). Copy the link from your picture. When you're posting on GD. Above the post box, you'll see a tool bar. Just click on the picture box, then paste your link. Press okay, then you're done.

But like I said it was huge. Being able to resize it would be great. Is imageshack.us free?

jeninpa Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 On photobucket all you have to do is click edit above the pic you want to resize and it's the 2nd option down. I usually pick the resize 50% option then just preview your post & refresh it. You'll see the current size. You can then make it smaller yet if need be by clicking edit again and this time I'd go with 75% at a time. Just repeat until it is a nice size. I've had photobucket for well over a yr and love it. Never had one problem with it. HTH!

Firemansgal311 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Photobucket now has a resize option that says for avatars, thumbnail, website/email. That makes it a heck of alot easier to resize the pics.
alimfp Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Picasa is a very nice yet basic image tool you can download for free. I too recommend Photobucket for hosting the pictures.
jeninpa Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 They JUST changed photobucket.com,lol. So when you get to the part where I said pick a % all you have to do is choose email/message board from the drop down menu! Did you email them and complain or something? LMAO

I was on there just a week ago and it wasn't on there. Great timing huh? (Since I just got my new camera in yesterday.)
bovichtj Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks for these tips... I had to search it out and find help :) Photobucket was VERY easy to use, esp. with the re-sizing thing and the codes they created for the images... Couldn't have done it myself :) Joanne
