Default Official "How-to-post-pictures" thread--Noobies inquire within

Ok, let's start out with your basic picture posting.

  • You need to have the picture on your computer(if you didn't already know this, just end yourself now).
  • Next you need to upload them to an image hosting site. www.newbieforces.com is free, but the jackass owner seems to always ---- it up for some reason so it may be down from time to time. www.picturetrail.com will let host them for free for a week or so, but then they shut you down and ask for money. It's only $20 a year for a ---- ton of hosting.
  • Ok, now that you know where to host them, click on the "upload" button and click "browse". This will take you to your picture folder on your computer. Find the picture(s) you want to upload and click it. Then click upload.

  • Next, you want to get the "URL" of the image. Some sites are different and require jumping through hoops to get the proper URL[cough]newbieforces[/cough], but if you have gotten this far you should be able to figure it out.
  • Ok, now you have an image uploaded and hosted and you have the URL for it, now you need to post it. First, click the "image" tag on the page located here:
  • Now you need to copy and paste the URL of your image(refer to previous steps)between the "IMG" tags like so:


    Now post your ------- picture and stop asking how to do it. :P



Now that you have mastered the art of posting images, you can learn how to resize them using advanced image tags.

First, take you orignal URL and "IMG" tags and add a little bit of magic in the tag like so:


So you are going to add "width=600 height=800" in the "IMG" tag between the "IMG" and the "]". The numbers indicate how big you want the picture to be so if you wanted it wider, you would replace "600" with a larger number(800) and if you wanted it to be longer you would replace "800" with a larger number(1000). Use the preview button to veiw your picture before you post it to see what looks best.


This should also help you with avatars and sigs as well. Hopefully you can figure that out on your own.

This concludes todays image posting class. I hope you all learned something. Donations can be made via Paypal to bigpimpn@uneedspeed.net

I was bored and I'm counting down the minutes until I leave town for the weekend. Plus, I think we needed one of these for future harassment of noobies asking how to post pictures.
