Posting Photos

Hello All,

Can any one tell me how to post photos on this forum, or direct me to the appropriate instructions for doing so? I frequently see excellent photos within the text of posts - can they be placed within the post directly from a folder on my computer or must I use an image hosting website such as photobucket? What about image size and file format? Is this taken care of by the forum software or must I set all the parameters myself beforehand?

Also is it possible to save a post on the forum in draft format for later posting or should this be done in a program such as Word? If I write a post in Word can it be copied into a post on this forum, including photos?

Sorry to ask so many questions but I am fairly new to forums and need to feel my way around.

Any help with this will be gratefully received - ATB ChrisS.

Hi Chris,

When you reply to a post to the left of the textbox where you type there is a yellow link that says "Upload Image". It'll open another window where you click the button "Browse" and select a photo on your hard drive. After that it'll upload it and paste a link code into the textbox which will become the photo that you uploaded after you click "Submit reply". Image will get resized automatically to 800x600 and format need to be a JPEG(.JPG). You can cut and paste text from Word but it will not carry over the photos you will need to save those separately and upload them one by one. Welcome to our forum.

Cheers,
Vlad.
