Posting pictures!!! Can't figure out how to post pictures!!! Help!!!

How to post pics!!!

i think there's a sticky somewhere?

i keep my photo's on an off site host,. (photobucket),..
in another window bring up your photo on your off site hosting service, right click properties, and copy the photo's address,. now go back to the wagon forum window which you already have open, open up a post, click on the square icon 2 left of youtube icon, and paste the photo's address in the url box,.

Due the mean spirited paranoid mature of this forum,. we don't let newbies post pics or pm's for 7 days? or so many posts i forget,.we need to know you are a serious wagon owner,. lol!
so hang in there and be patient,.

That makes absolutely no sense!!!

phantom was actually very helpful with that post. He should have mentioned that this site does not host its own photos for any member, that is why you need an offsite photo host. I found that using photos already on facebook and linking to them in your post on this site seems to work.

Hmmm,.. 3 posts,..

The other point is that there is a minimum post count to keep out spambots as well. A few more posts and you'll hit the minimum.

Phantom is correct. This is not Facebook or Youtube. There is no direct hosting of pictures on this site. The are linked to other hosts . I also use photobucket.com

Please read this link about posting pics.

I love this place...

You can host an image through the site actually...click on the little floppy disk/pic icon.


Both of these pics were uploaded and hosted through the response box just now:

Never new that could happen.

Would you be kind enough to add that info to the link above?

Updated. I'd move this post to the Pic section...but it looks like I do not have Mod privileges for Tom's sandbox.

Hey Tom! lol

I was wanting to post pics but maybe i need to wait longer since I've only been on here for a day lol. That and maybe i can't do it with my phone (laptop is busted)

I think the key of Tom's suggestion is that the files have to be of small size. Most pics I take are way larger that the max of 800 pixels wide, and therefore will not post into the forum via Tom's method.

It's extremely simple!

(with spaces removed obviosuly)

Keep in mind the point is that there is no "URL" for a picture on your own computer. It still has to be posted on the internet somewhere else (like photobucket() to acquire a URL in the first place, then grab it and post it for it.

So if the only place your picture exists in on you computer, there is no way to directly load a large KB photo.e

Yeah it would be like this (with spaces removed)

not

Correct the 'C" means it's on your hard drive, not in internet space.
