Posting pictures

[Size15's]

How does one go about posting a picture (*.JPG) file into a thread?

By posting it into a thread, I assume this means it is shown with the text of the thread.

Thanks

P.S.
In order post a picture into a thread or just to link to a picture, does it have be online?

First, the picture has to be on the internet. This software cannot access anyone's hard drive.

If you just type the link like:

&#104ttp://www.maglite.com/images/page1sm.jpg

It will just turn into a hyperlink:

http://www.maglite.com/images/page1sm.jpg

Second, you must use the UBB image tags. The first tag should be &#91IMG&#93 then followed immediatly (no space or other character(s)) by the URL of the picture (&#104ttp://www.maglite.com/images/page1sm.jpg for example.) and close with &#91/IMG&#93.

The code with the picture URL should look like this:

&#91IMG&#93http://www.maglite.com/images/page1sm.jpg&#91/IMG&#93

which should produce this:

For html use the &#60img src=""&#62 tag.

Please refer to www.blooberry.com for correct html tag usage. Basically it should look like this:

&#60img src="http://www.maglite.com/images/page1sm.jpg"&#62

Which should produce this:

It works for .jpg and .gif image formats. Plus those weird filenames for photopoint. I haven't tried any other formats so I can't say.

If my explanation is not clear please refer to the UBB Code faq.

We have lots of unused bandwidth here. I don't mind posting pictures in a thread as opposed to a link.

If you prefer a link that's fine too.

Your explaination is great.


I have 5MB of free web space with my ISP. I should learn how to make very basic webpages so I can link to them...

Thanks!
