Hubert RE: how i can insert a picture in a post ? - Fubar - 01-21-2007 I just upload my pics to this site... http://imageshack.us/ Just copy the thumbnail code for the picture you want to use in forums into your post... And the site is free to use. RE: how i can insert a picture in a post ? - Copper - 01-21-2007 Or you can also use photobucket. RE: how i can insert a picture in a post ? - jawsconan - 01-21-2007 It works very well ! Thanks a lot for your help, guys. Cheers. Hubert RE: how i can insert a picture in a post ? - Antoni Chmielowski - 01-22-2007 I use a program called Irfanview to mess about with the picture : http://www.irfanview.com/ and PhotoBucket to host them ! http://photobucket.com/ Here is one of my pictures RE: how i can insert a picture in a post ? - Fubar - 01-22-2007 I used to use Photobucket but several forums i'm a member of didn't like them because of the large size of their images and the lag it caused for dailup users...so i was forced to switch to imageshack because of their thumbnail sized images. RE: how i can insert a picture in a post ? - Larry Thorne (FGM) - 01-22-2007 Well you can get thumbnail images from photobucket too...also those that then open up as largerones just select the picture you want (click the box to choose) then click on the generate html/picture codes then you get all sorts of options ready done for you so you just copy paste the best option to use in this case the one that says thumbnail size picture with a link to largeron used for forums Like this And it is also quite simple to change the img size in clicking the img in photobucket and then edit and resize it these are the different options 640x480 320x240 160x120 80x60 Most forums I use are good for even 800x600 pictures and load quite good. And besides its quite easy to resize them with any of the picture programs you use so they are ok from uploading. I personally hate imageshck and all the nasty pop ups that burst out and slow things down especially for those on dial up. Ok pop up blocker has been invented but still. Also in few forums I use imageshack is not permitted for you as it is probably the most popular and due to its huge usage it sometimes stall the lines and thus stalls the threads where imageshack pictures are used. Just few observations and opinions. But like it is which ever suits one is the best from him/her.

RE: how i can insert a picture in a post ? - Larry Thorne (FGM) - 01-22-2007 Hope you get it to work. Cheers LT
