A 'How To' guide to uploading pictures onto the BBS.

[jack-daniels]

why cant I use the "manage attchments "button as used on the sales pages ? Tezz

Probably because it would put to much load on the server / bandwidth

i agree with jim ive tryed loadsa times to no avail. tommorow when im not so tired im guna give this a go. but there must be more 'simple' people like me out there.

Too true,it`s easy enough until something goes wrong

Know what you mean , just spent an hour trying to post a picture in the sales section and still not done it

Got the url into description but cant make any sense of the next bit highlighting a word and hyperlink.

Had to resort to asking my software expert- the wife and even she cant get it to work

Can some one explain how i get the url to actually look like a picture when i preview it and not just displaying the words

We do not allow IMG (image) code on all sections but the Sales area. What section are you trying to post a picture on?

First, take a digital photo & save it to your computer. Second, Join a free host site, I'm on "imgbb.com" so that's the one I'll explain.

I have two open internet pages which make it easy, my ISP home page & my ISP search page.

On page 1 open the BBS, open your thread, type the text drop the flashing cursor to a new line.

Now on page 2 open imgbb.com & sign in, click "Albums", click "Create new Album", a box will open type in a name (BBS ?), description & privacy setting, I use "private anyone with the link", click "Save Changes"

At the top of the imgbb page click "upload", a box (A) will open, click "Browse your computer" a new box will open which should have your computer pictures, select the photo you want, click "Open", you will now be back at page (A) with the picture & a box underneath to select the album you want it in, underneath that is a green "upload" button, If you want another photo click "your computer" & repeat the selection, when you have all the photos you want to show click the green "upload" button.

The photo(s) will then upload, when done there is a green tick-upload complete- a thumbnail of the photo & 2 "embed code" boxes, the bottom box has a https address, click that address to highlight it (if more than 1 photo all will highlight) then RIGHT click the highlight, a new box will open click on copy.

Now reopen page 1 to show your BBS thread & RIGHT click on the flashing cursor a new box will open, click "paste" & the https address of the photo(s) will appear as a link.

Submit your post, Go back to page 2 imgbb, click "close" on the upload page, click your profile & sign out.

Once signed out, go back to the BBS & click the link in your post to test it, that's it job done.

How can I put a picture like this up rather than a link?
Or is this the feature you have removed?

Hi,

Only in the Sales section are embedded images allowed.
This saves a lot of bandwidth and allows the forum to run quicker.

Ta,
