Posting photos
 

Hi Folks,



Can anyone give me, or point me to a (complete) idiot’s step by step guide to posting pictures on discussion board, or market place threads. Camera is 4.3 Megapixie (Woohoo!)

Starting at:

“Right you’ve taken the photo with your digi camera”

and ending at:

“Well done. Now you’ve successfully inserted pictures in the thread. Go and have a rest.”

I’m not looking to put in links, or pictures as attachments. I’d like the photos to appear when the thread is opened.

Sympathetic advice welcomed.

call me .. u2u on the way .. its easier than typing it .....

although for the images to appear in the post thhey have to be hosted on some webspace somewhere as those are url driven ....

Spinoli, i sympathise with you as i've had this problem and i'm a techno idiot:puzzled:

My basic idiots guide is make sure the picture you want to post is less than 1 meg or the board will not accept it. Also if the pixel size is too large same will happen. I normally resize the pics to around 800 x 533 pixels so they post OK.

Presumably the pix you wish to post will be located in 'My pictures' or 'My documents' on your PC.

When you go to do a new post there is a field at the very bottom marked 'attachment' and within that thee is the 'browse' field. Select browse, this will enable you to look in the relevant section (my Pictures) on your PC where you have got the photos, select the photo you want and the title will appear in the browse field then post reply.

Hey presto your picture should as if by magic appear on the board.

However if you are anything like me, nowt will happen, you will smash your PC in a fit of rage, wake the kids up, kick the cat....and hope someone with a bit if knowledge pops up.

Hope that helps but you're probably far better of listening to Dibble, except hes got such an annoying southern accent and therefore cannot be understood properly.:D

Gud job typing on computa's does unt reveal any accent man.

Thanks BDG,

I have been the route that you suggest - similar results. The cat looks at me very funnily now.

I'll give Dibble a bell. There shouldn't be a language barrier - you can't get much further South than Jersey, which is where I'm calling from.

Sorry, told you i didn't really know what i was talking about, blind leading the blind, better luck with Dibs, anyway he does far better porn than me:lol:

How many months has it taken you to get a photo up Shaun? ;)

Forget porn Shaun - you really want something with a more sporting them like this -

Now that's nasty!:D

Years not months:lol:

Now what are Sunderland and Readings current positions in the league table? :lol::devil:

Well I've had a good chat with Dibble (top bloke), and now I know the score.

Soon I'll put up a few piccies of my bike in the gallery, and some of the mods I've made, (as if anyone would be interested).

Thanks again Guys.

Spinoli,

Glad to hear you've got it cracked and yes, we would like to see the pics of your bike...............don't go overboard about Dibs though!! He's not a bad chap


Shaun just checked the BBC web-site -

David you're good enough to be Tony B liars spin doctor.

Statistics, damn statistics :D

Play offs =

Reading will beat Sheffield United in the semis and West Ham will beat Preston.

Reading will then muller West Ham in Cardif, get promoted to the Premiership finally - only 10 years of trying and Alan Parjudas will get fired.

Or at least that's what the voices keep telling me :devil:
