How do I post pictures?

28-07-2013, 10:09 AM

I've read the FAQ and it says go into user cp and create an album - doesn't seem to be an option for me? Any help please?

Dunno but when you find out could you post an idiots guide?

I don't know about the album thing. Couldn't find it either.

To post pics, that show as pics rather than links, in threads first you need to upload them to a host site. I use http://tinypic.com/ but there are lots of others. You can also use facebook but your facebook album that you take the pics from must be public.

tinypic you can only upload 1 at a time so a bit of a pain but you don't need to have an account. Just click 'browse' and select your picture. On the resize tab choose 'message board' then click 'upload now'. Once it's uploaded it gives you 4 urls to chose from, you want the 2nd one down - IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards. Copy it and simply paste it in the text box here. It should look like this before you press 'submit reply'

but once posted your pic will appear instead, like this

I can't edit my old accounts posts but if I could I'd replace tinypic with http://postimage.org/. It lets you upload a few pics at a time, has a simpler interface, doesn't have any annoying security features and you still don't need to have an account

Oh That seems to work ok, I just need to now figure out why I can only upload 1 image

Dirty · 14-09-2013, 02:11 PM

When you are selecting your pic files hold down CTRL and you can select multiple files

Yeah, I've tried shift and ctrl, both look like they're working but I still only get one picture upload, sometimes none. Maybe I'll try the other site 'tinypic'

Dirty · 14-09-2013, 02:31 PM

I didn't think postimg did albums? Multi upload just makes it easier when you have a few pics to post. Just do it the once rather than keep going back and grabbing the next file etc

I just tested it out and uploaded 6 pics at once. You get a page with all your pics as thumbnails
