ADDING A PHOTO TO MY POST - I'M CONFUSED ( again )

So I can't just pick up a picture from somewhere and add it to my post . Must it already be in my gallery ?
Willie .

Much easier than

Ah yes Gramps but once its added ts locked in your members picture area, until the post is archived, much better to go with the second option.

Bonz,

Ha ! Knew there had to be a catch somewhere :)))) Too damn easy.

Did'nt plan to change those foe a while yet anyway LOLOL

Bonz,

I seem to remember a problem with external hosting as well. Roachie had pictures of the 747 cockpit masquerading as his vehicle interior. When he deleted the pics from his external host they, of course, disappeared from here as well. Six of one/half a dozen of the other I guess LOLOL

yep same thing'll happen with the gallery pix I think, have to quiz the eggspurt on that one

Gooday Doug ,
I can put up the rig photo easilly and I can easilly make them the correct size in Photoshop , but I just thought that people were able to go to any file and pluck a photo from it to add to their post .
Willie .

Got me beat then , where do they get the photo from , if it's from my own hard drive Ive got lots of cars,trucks,4x4, only have 37,540 ,and 4,199 personal
ok just a test below , if itdoesn't work don't worry about it

Doug, you have to get the photo from the web and link to it. Of course you put it there in the first place, it wont work from your hard drive.

Ohhh ok ;lol I'll work it out someday mate , going out on a job today so will be gone for a couple of days, if it rains too much where we are going i might be gone for a week.Century Mine ,See ya

Doug

It works, you beauty.

Well under the "Enter your followup" box are the HYPERLINKS clues, theyre the ones for links and pics, its easy to do.

For rig pics the clue is that you need to have a "signature" in your profile for the rig pic to show. Other than that its easy as shooting doves in a barrel.

Bonz,

I want to add a photo and do not want to use the gallery picture that is for members only. There is a hyper link for images, how does that work?
Keep it simple.

Wayne

For me too .
Willie .

Wayne it is easy. Google "photobucket" and go open an account there and then add the pic you want to post here, there.

Then below the window you post your reply etc in is this:

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/BonzInc/images.jpg

Post the link from photobucket that looks like this



replacing

http://domain.com/image_path

remove the bits in square brackets...

and voila!

Well you get the drift

I know it's easy if you know how but so many don't, confusion regins are we are hit with the same old questions and how many out there are afraid to ask. We need some good documentation.

I agree MadDog might do something and add it to member file swap.

Thank you great master. You are a wizard with words. Just don't get that rig picless mate of yours to help.

Thanx Ray of course you know I am:

hahaha

you know I luv you long time Bonz

i got similar prob.

my photos are bigger than the 50 whatever it is.....how do you make them smaller is my Q????

Laura B

Hi Laura, any picture program like photoshop or acdsee can resizeyour pics or you can email them to me and I will do it for you, my emails behind my rig pic

Mad Dog ,
I knew it was a pain in the butt question and I would cop some flak - that's why I appologised in my post .
But you are right , there needs to be an "Instructions for Dummies " section in the site .
Thanks ,
Willie .

No Worries Willie, as I said I wasn't having a go.

Laura, Irfanview is one of the most popular image viewers in the world and can do wonders with photos including resizing, and it's FREE. Install it, click on Image then resize/resample, make your pics whatever size you want

www.irfanview.com

ok mad dog, im at that irfan wb site - now where do i go!!!

Laura B

There should be a download link on the page, click it download and install.

I use the webspace that my ISP supplies with my account. I think just about all ISP's give webspace why not use it, just need to use a free FTP program such as commander for uploading.

From my ISP space, my old Rodeo

How did you open this "photobucket account " please . Take it for granted that I am going to have trouble figuring out your instructions , no matter how good they are .
Sorry ,
Willie .

Your pic doesn't go bigger when clicked Geoff ?

Ray thats cause its as big as it gets.

OK WIllie, go to www.photobucket.com or go here young man and click on Join Now!. There you'll be able to navigate thru and open an account, once you've done the email thing to activate etc, you'll see the browse area to add a pic and name it.

Then once you've added a pic you'll see 3 windows under the added pic, one starts with [IMG], thats the hyperlink onfo you'll need to plug into the bit as per above, if you give me your email I can open the acct for you

>Ray thats cause its as big as it gets

oh you need a camera with a bigger lense

sorry , bad joke but could't help myself

Actually its sized to fit in my rig pic mate, and was scanned from a photo, you didnt mention the deft composition or artistic je ne se quois the pic is bristling with.

oh sorry, vwery cool. It's just that I've had a few beers.

what's that you say "don't drink and post"..oh yeah sorry

Theres no law against that as long as your posts are moderate hahahahah

And that rig picless mate is redeeming himself if he can get the system to work

Also there is already a hyperlink file in fileswap but it doesnt cover current pic options.

Geez Willie the suspense is killing me how'd you go mate?

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz willie couldnya kil em, i just finally worked out how to do a URL , LOOKS LIKE NOW I WILL HAVE TO TRY A PHOTO damn caps were on lol

!MPG:9!

Well Willie? I have been restless all night wondering if you got it to work? heheheh

Bonz ,
I watched the cricket till three am and now I am a vegetable ,
Willie

Whew now I can sleep easy

Bugga ! What did I do wrong ?

hehe nice pic

you obviously did't have the syntax correct Willie

this is that you need, just remove the brackets at each end

[
]

remove the brackets and we should get the pic up

OH GOLLY GOSH, I thought the brackets would have stopped it from displaying the pic....

put the path between the "....." using the images syntax at the bottom of the box where you write the message

This is the path:

THE FIRST AUSSIE SURFER ?

THE FIRST AUSSIE SURFER ?

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/Tanamaybe/Exploroz/FirstAussiesurfer.jpg

Mad Dog ,

When you say this is the path , what do you mean ? I had exactly what you did above , but still no success .

I am leaving something out .

Before , you said to leave out the brackets - but they were not in the first time though , because Bonz told me to get rid of them in his post .

I must beat this .

Willie .

"http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/Tanamaybe/Exploroz/FirstAussiesurfer.jpg"

I'm sorry Bonz , but I cannot find "Copy image location "

Willie .

I am missing something simple here . Let's just forget it . Thanks guys .

Chris ,
In my rage and depression , I calld you Bonz .
Sorrry ,
Willie .

>Is the image linking still working?

Yes

Lol never let it go.....

Try this, this is what you need to have in there:



You need your URL which you got right and then everything outside the talking marks, including them.

Then you'll be right. I hope, Who won the cricket?

GWBonz

Sorright Willie - In my confusion, I called you "Willem".

Sorry guys ;)

Anyway - if you are using Windows (I know it's an assumption, and not eveyone uses it - I'm on Linux myself), then just hover your mouse cursor over the image being displayed when you've found it. While it's hovering - click (and you may have to hold) your right mouse button and find "Copy Image Location" from the list. While still holding the button down, slide down to that option - highlight it and let go. It is now in your copy/paste buffer. Type what I told you in my description above, place the cursor in between the two rabbit ears and click the right mouse button again. Select "paste".

I'm sorry to appear so condescending, but I'm not sure what experience you have.

Cheers
Chris

Chris ,
When I right click on the photo there is no such "COPY IMAGE LOCATION". There is just plain "COPY" but not what you are saying .
Willie .

Bonz ,
We lost the cricket . We made 434 runs . They were 9 for 434 with two balls to spare and Boucher hit a 4 . I have never seen a game like it .
Willie .

Willie, you have the URL right. Chris's thing works for him but he must be using a different browser cause that right click menu has different things for different browsers. just click on the url box under the pic in photobucket and copy that location

I am just about to put up a two page file in member fileswap to hopefully help

Woohoo Willie YOU GOT IT. Well done old bean!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Clunk - the pennys dropped .

On behalf of all the Cretins on Computers , I would like to thank Bonz , Chris , Ray and Gramps for sticking with me . What patience and understanding .

Willie .

onya Willie, good work.

hehehehe no worries I knew you had it in you, we always aim to please here at EO

On ya bro :)))) But have we now created a monster LOLOL

So after all that , what do you think of my archaeological breakthrough ?
Willie .

That looks like a shark fin behind him a bleeping big one, necessity IS the mother of invention. I think this site shall become a pilgrimage for skegs and grommets

Willie,

Not only is it a depiction of Oz's first surfer it looks suspiciously like evidence of the first recorded shark attack on a surfer. To the left of the surfer it looks like a shark veering away after a 'test' bite :))))))))

Gees Bonz, now I know we're both twisted :) But you type faster LOL

Hey Willie we are the

hehe...

Good stuff Willie :)

It worked that time . I'm on fire !

But Al , I did not know what a URL , a hyperlink or a http to path was .
There must be other dummies around like me .

Yours is beautiful for people who know what all that stuff is .

Maybe we should have two headings .

Computure Lierate
Als instructions

Dummies
My instructions

waddayathink ?

Willie .

Computure . A new word is launched into Strine .

hahaah might have to lock this thread its OUTTA CONTROL JERRY!

Sorry Willie.

I'm just trying to figure out the easiest way of doing this. You can use the info from photobucket URL, TAG and IMG all in different ways to achieve the same result. I've used all three at different times.

IMHO most of the problems concern the info "To Post Hyperlinks" below each Post/Follow-up text box. It's not that the info is wrong, it's just that people don't necessarily notice it or know how to use it.

I'll just keep fiddling around, check out Bonz' instructions and see which works best for me and let you know.

Regards
