Why must you people insist on inserting attachments to photos and thumbnails and rubbish that really makes reading your posts a drag

Here's a simple walkthrough on how to insert photos within your post... I'm sure it's written in the help but I'm just going to write it out anyways.

Save your photo somewhere, anywhere on the internet that allows hotlinking...

Then write your post and when you get to a point where you'd like to insert your picture, press enter (to go to a new line), click the image button and [IMG][/IMG] will appear. Then paste your link between the middle two square brackets [im]http://web.aanet.com.au/triangle/Small%20BMW%20K100RT%20(9).JPG[/im] (i deleted the "age" from within the square brackets so you can see what the thing is supposed to look like and then hit enter again and continue typing.

If you do that, then click on preview, you should see something like this:

See, it's really not that difficult...

Feel free to abuse me for calling you annoying... I can handle the fact the millions of people are starving all over the world, and I can handle the fact that as a general rule, politicians are stupid and that old people smell... I just struggle sooo much to handle people making it less pleasant to read their articles.

If you want to be nice to people who are still using a 28.8k modem, just note in your thread topic... (28.8k beware) or something like that.

Sorry about the rant... I just couldn't help it!

Also, if you've taken the photo with your awsome 18 megapixel digital camera, make a reduced size version for linking too... if someone asks you for better detail, email them the full size photo or give them a link to where you have uploaded it.

Also, you'll be amazed at the number of replies you get where people congratulate you on the photos after they have given their reply.

Cheers,

im new to this site and i was wondering why people were posting attachments didnt know if it was in the rules i didnt read them yet

replaced the 05 gsxr with a 06 cbr1000


photobucket.com works great

 

yea thanks for clearing this up, everytime there is a post theres a ****ing attachment, then a ****ing file in there and then i can click on it and load. its retarded, start putting pictures in your posts people, you will draw more attention and save everyone time

 

ahh i was wonderin how to do that ty man, sry for the probs i might have caused with my attatchments.

 

I think the reason people are adding attachments is that they can upload them directly from their PC, and not have to have them hosted on the net somewhre.

 

Okay, I'm starting to get pissed! I've inserted photos on diffrent forums and had no problem, uploaded pics, no problem...but I just can't get this site! I figured how to upload images to my photo album but now that they are there, I can't post them into threads. I tried re-sizing one and uploaded it and still can't insert it into the thread. I can insert pics that were from diffrent sites, but once I attempt to insert one from here, it never works.

The pics that I add to the thread, via the script button, show up in my text area but once I go to preview or say okay, they're long gone. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? What I'm doing wrong...anything!

 

Hmm... sorry to hear your having problems. I just take the full link of the photo (it'll be something like "http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/2961/1162915529921cx5.jpg" for example), copy it, click the little "Add Image" button (it's the last button on the far right of your options above where you enter text. You know, there's the B, I, U, left/center/right justify, Horizontal Rule, ordered/unordered lists, etc etc then eventually the Insert link, remove link, then Add Image button... which looks like a little yellow picture with some mountains and a little sun or something on it). A window will come up saying "Enter Image URL" with a highlighted http:// in the box. Replace the http:// with your full link (like I showed above, only no " ), then click "ok" and you're done!

 

Put them in photobucket ....... click the mountain picture and post the direct url link in it.... Thats for the people that dont want to read a bunch

 

Touche my good man... touche.

 

Haha, sorry, yours wasnt there when I looked in here. must of clicked at the same time[>:]
