How do I add scans to my post?
 

Thanks for iluvfish2 for this tutorial

Step # 1 - Website

Go to: [url=http://imageshack.us/]ImageShack® - Hosting[/url]

Step # 2 - find the file

Click on Browse

Then find the picture you'd like to upload (once you select the picture. Picture will have to be one of the folllowing formats ( jpg jpeg png gif bmp tif tiff swf , EXAMPLE TOMBRADYAUTO.JPG OR 05TOPPSAUTOS.BMP), you'll have to hit "Ok" This will then put the file path into the browse line.

Step # 3 - select the file size

Continuing down the page, you'll see a "resize image" toolbar on the right. I recommend using the "640x480 (for message boards)" or "320x240 (for websites and email)"

Step # 4 - Submitting file for hosting

Below the image size toolbar, you'll see a "host it" button. Click on it. This may or maynot open the links in a new window. Search the page, normally about 1/2 way down on the right you'll see these words "Hotlink for forums (1) " To the left of that you'll see what appears to be a website address. Highlight that entire link, copy it, then paste that into your post. Once you post, it will convert it to the image.

You can add an attachment to your post instead, but the size is limited so that our servers don't get hit too hard with huge pictures.

here are some screen shots that should help!

First shot I have already clicked on the Browse button and selected the image I want to upload. Once you've done that and selected the size of the image you would like to display (FYI I've found the 640x480 to work the best on the forums)

then (notice that I'm below the image....select all of the text in the box thats blue. Paste that into your post and your good to go!

If your using the Multiloader
 

This has come up in the past few weeks and thought I'd add this to this thread. If you using Imageshack to upload multiple pictures, use the first link you've given for that photo (under the [B]Embedded Code[/B] heading, and to the right of the link you want to use you'll see [B]forums[/B]). This will not only post your photo, but elimiate the photo size border around it (which seems to shink the image size).

Hope this helps!

Since Photobucket is becoming so popular..here is what you need for it. Once you have the photo uploaded to your photo bucket. Just use the bottom link on the photo (where I have drawn the asterisk on the photo).

Just an updated for those still using Imageshack. As you know its changed and gone to more of a Java type template. Plus side, you can now easily upload multiple photos at once. Downside..additional steps to get all the links to post correctly.

If your uploading one image at a time, dont worry, nothing has really changed.

Multiples can get tricky but not difficult. Once you have all your photos selected and uploaded, go to the right side of the page and scroll down.
You'll see a title called [B]Get links and Codes for All Images [/B] (last one on the page). Its going to show as its default [B]Direct Links[/B]..[B]change that to BB Code[/B] and the box will change and give you some code that you can copy, then go to your post and paste the text/code, and you'll have your images displayed.

Let me know if this needs photos and I'll do some screen shots for it.

can we make this a sticky???

PLEASE HELP
 

I cant for the life of me find out how to delete a post. I know you go to the Edit/Delete button then what? please PM how someone. :doh::doh:

Upload Failed, why?
 

When uploading pics from my iPhone the upload fails. I've also tried to take new versus choose exciting but receive same results. Please help!!

Does it give you an error message? I've been having Apple issues too. This it's less the forum and more the apple update.

Wrong section.

I don't think this works anymore. I have tried and tried. Can it get updated?

So looks like you cant use flickr to post pictures here?

I havent used photobucket in years, it used to be free but not anymore?

How do I add a picture that shows up large in the thread instead of it being a small attachment?

testing to see if this is way too big or not

edit -oh god

edit - great advice from another thread below from user "duron" in case anyone finds their way to this thread like me first

You don't have to resize within Imgur, you can just edit the url by adding a modifier before ".jpg/.png", etc. Here are the options with this method:

s = Small Square (90×90)
b = Big Square (160×160)
t = Small Thumbnail (160×160)
m = Medium Thumbnail (320×320)
l = Large Thumbnail (640×640)
h = Huge Thumbnail (1024×1024)
